Abstract

A timepiece includes a locking device capable of blocking the translation of a valve or of a control member in the position the closest to the central axis of the case. The locking device includes a blocking element capable of undergoing translational displacement along a radial axis between a locking position and an unlocking position, where the member is respectively blocked or free to move in translation, a part mounted such that it can move in rotation about the central axis of the case and intended to be set in rotation by a user, drive device linking the angular displacement of the part mounted such that it can move in rotation to the translational displacement of the blocking element between the locking and unlocking positions.
