Abstract
The gong is made with a wire or a strip having an atypical shape for a watch striking mechanism. The gong includes a rectilinear part connected to a curved part. The rectilinear part and/or the curved part are connected to the same gong-carrier. The gong includes several notches made at defined geometric points on a portion of the length of the gong to adapt the natural vibration frequencies within an audible range between 1 kHz and 5 kHz, so that the sound produced by the vibrating gong is harmonious.
