A calendar mechanism for a timepiece suitable for indicating a piece of information having a period that varies according to at least a first cycle and a second cycle is provided. The mechanism, inter alia, is a system for actuating a lever, in which the actuating system includes a first feeler-spindle intended to come into contact with the first cam and a second feeler-spindle intended to come into contact with the second cam the feeler-spindles being kinematically linked with each other and the actuating system being arranged to move the lever from the inactive position to the active position under the control of each of the cams.

Calendar mechanism for a timepiece

A timepiece includes a chime mechanism () having an hours component (), a quarters component () and a minutes component (), the hours (), quarters () and minutes () components being pivot-mounted about one and the same spindle (), the quarters component () and the minutes component () being kinematically linked by a first driving member collaborating with a first driving toothset (). Out of the hours component () and the quarters component (), one includes a second driving toothset () and the other includes a second driving member designed to be capable of collaborating with the second driving toothset () and of kinematically linking the hours component () and the quarters component (), thereby eliminating the dead time between the chimes for the hours and those for the quarters, or between those for the hours and those for the minutes when there isn't a quarter to chime.
