Timepiece movement () comprising:—a main frame () acting as a support for a drive source () and for at least one base gear train () designed to be driven by the drive source ();—at least one flying bridge () cantilever-mounted on an element of the main frame () and extending in superposition on the latter, characterized in that the flying bridge () supports at least one functional element () kinematically linked to the base gear train () via a flying gear train (), and in that the functional element () and at least some elements of the flying gear train () are entirely supported on the flying bridge ().

Timepiece movement

Disclosed is an escapement mechanism () for a timepiece, designed to cooperate with an oscillator arranged to carry out oscillations, said mechanism () comprising:—a count wheel () arranged for step-wise forward rotation depending on the oscillations of the oscillator;—an impulse wheel () designed to be kinematically linked to a power source, said impulse wheel () being arranged to be periodically blocked and released under the control of the count wheel () and to supply impulses to the oscillator, characterized in that:—when said escapement mechanism () is operating, the count wheel () is continuously subjected to a torque;—and the count wheel () is arranged to rotate forward by one half-step of its toothing for every vibration of the oscillator.

Timepiece escapement mechanism

The invention relates to a striking mechanism, comprising striking hammers, gongs, each being arranged to produce a sound under the action of a hammer associated therewith, actuators for actuating the associated hammer, a striking control device, and at least one striking drive device arranged to engage with the control device. The invention further comprises at least one mechanism for striking multiples of n hours, n&#x2265;2, kinematically connected to said striking drive device, said mechanism for striking multiples of n hours being arranged to actuate the hammers to strike the multiples of groups of n hours according to a specific striking when said control device has been actuated.
