A timepiece includes a timepiece movement provided with an analog display and at least one wheel rotating integrally with a rotary indicator of the analog display. The wheel includes an electrically conductive plate pierced with at least one aperture. The timepiece also includes a device for detection of a reference angular position of the aperture. The detection device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a common electrode which are planar and arranged in a plane parallel to the wheel. The common electrode is arranged along portions of the first electrode and of the second electrode. The aperture is at least partially above or below: the first electrode in a first position of disequilibrium; the first electrode and the second electrode in a position of equilibrium; and the second electrode in a second position of disequilibrium.
