Control device for a watch movement having a part rotatably movable around an axis A. The device is associated with a watch case (11) and has a lock (25) actuatable from outside the watch. The lock is movably mounted in translation to the periphery of the watch case (11). The device also has a movably mounted plate (30) which is rotatable around an axis D inside the watch case and is kinematically connected to the lock. An arm (34) is pivotable around and axis B, whose first end is placed on the plate in such a way that it is freely rotatable around an axis C non-merging with the axis D and whose other end is fixed to the part for driving the movement.
