Dependent claims

A horological setting device comprising:

an adjustment module comprising:
a spindle;
and
at least one elastic clamp including at least one bearing portion and clamp arms, the at least one bearing portion being configured to be subjected to an action of the spindle, such that deformation of the at least one bearing portion is configured to move a relative mutual position of said arms, and
a clamp base on a frame, which is movable in a vertical direction,
wherein the spindle is rotatable, the rotation of which is configured to cause the at least one elastic clamp to open and close and said spindle including a rotatable portion forming a camming surface which is configured to contact said bearing portion wherein the arms of said clamp are rotatable about a central holding pin of said clamp.
