A watch has a mechanical movement with a force control mechanism arranged in a going train of the mechanical movement between an energy source and an escape wheel set connected to an oscillating oscillator to drive the escape wheel set always in the same direction of rotation. The escape wheel set meshes with a seconds wheel. A rotating locking element is arranged to cooperate with a stop member connected to this seconds wheel in order to lock this going train in a stop mode or to release this going train in a jump mode depending on the angular position of this seconds wheel. A flexure bearing with elastic strips is attached on the one hand to the seconds wheel and on the other hand to the movement support. The pre-wound flexure bearing is arranged to drive in rotation the seconds wheel and the escapement mechanism connected to the oscillator at each half-oscillation of the oscillator in the stop mode.
A mechanical movement watch with a force control mechanism, and of a jumping seconds type, the force control mechanism being arranged in a going train of the mechanical movement, which is arranged between an energy source and an escape wheel set comprised in an escapement mechanism connected to an oscillator intended to be set in oscillation in normal operation by a drive generated by said energy source to rotate said escape wheel set always in a single direction of rotation at each half-oscillation of the oscillator, said escape wheel set meshing with a seconds wheel,
