Abstract
An animation mechanism for a timepiece, includes a support system bearing a first decorative object intended to be animated by a rotation about a first axis of rotation and about a second axis of rotation under the effect of a drive source. The support system includes a first frame mounted to pivot on a cage element about said first axis of rotation, and an inner frame mounted to pivot in the first frame about the second axis of rotation which is substantially orthogonal with respect to the first axis of rotation, the inner frame bearing a second decorative object. The inner frame is arranged to be driven by an eccentric driving element secured in rotation to a drive wheel arranged to be driven directly or indirectly by the drive source.
