Abstract
A timepiece having a mechanical clock movement and separate first and second cases (), the movement including first and second portions housed in the first and second cases (), respectively, the cases () being mutually connected in a rotatably hinged manner via a hinge () defining a pivot axis so as to be capable of forming a variable angle between the cases, the part further including a controller arranged to transmit information from one portion of the movement to the other. The controller includes at least one rod () slidably mounted in the hinge along an axis substantially parallel to the pivot axis and engaging with the first and second portions of the clock movement for transmitting information from one portion of the movement to the other, by a linear, alternating movement, regardless of the relative position of the two cases ().
