Abstract

Mechanism for controlling the function of an analogue watch permitting the display of the state of at least one of the functions. It comprises a disc 16 for displaying the states; a lever 8 articulated to the pull-out piece 6 and on which a push button 18 acts; a pawl 10 articulated at the end of the lever 8; a wheel 12 meshing with the wheel 14 which bears the disc 16. For one position of the pull-out piece 6, the push button 18 moves the lever 8 in such manner that the pawl 10 causes the rotation of the wheel 12 and of the indicator 16. For the other positions, the push button 18 has no effect.
