Abstract
An arrangement for setting the minute hand of a timepiece which has at least minute and second hands,having a setting stem,which can be moved axially out of a normal position into a setting position. In this case, upon movement of the setting stem,out of the normal position into the setting position, a zero setting drive of the second hand,can be driven such that it moves the latter into its zero position and the seconds stem,which bears the second hand,can be driven via a seconds-display drive mechanism,of the movement mechanism of the timepiece. The seconds-display drive mechanism,has a blocking device which can be actuated, by virtue of the setting stem,being moved in the direction of the setting position, such that the seconds-display drive mechanism,is blocked before the second hand,is moved into the zero position.
