A selection and actuation device for at least a first and second function of a watch movement includes a translationally and rotationally movable control stem respectively selecting and actuating at least one of the functions. The control stem occupies at least first, second and third distinct, successive axial positions. An actuating lever bears first and second wheels and pinions. The actuating lever occupies a neutral position when the control stem is in one of its first and third positions, and pivots, on either side of the neutral position, between a first driving position actuating the first function responsive to control stem rotation in a first direction, and a second driving position actuating the second function responsive to a control stem rotation in a second direction. Also disclosed is a movement including such a selection and actuation device as well as to a timepiece including such a movement.
A selection and actuation device for a plurality of functions of a watch movement comprising at least a first function of a first mechanism of the movement and a second function of a second mechanism of the movement, said device comprising a translationally and rotationally movable control stem for respectively selecting and actuating at least one or the other of said functions, said control stem being arranged to be capable of occupying at least first, second and third distinct, successive axial positions, said device comprising means for actuating at least the first and the second functions, which means are arranged to be kinematically linked to the control stem such that one of the first and second functions can be actuated after having been selected solely by an axial translational movement of the control stem from the control stem's first position to the control stem's second position, and such that the other of the first and second functions can be actuated after having been selected solely by an axial translational movement of the control stem from the control stem's third position to the control stem's second position,
