Abstract
The invention relates to a horological movement comprising a striking mechanism of a watch including a vibrating element and a striking device of said vibrating element comprising a hammer fixed overhanging a structure of the horological movement by means of strips of a flexible guide, said strips being both arranged so as to extend in directions intersecting at a point materialising an instantaneous centre of rotation C disposed along an axis T tangent to the vibrating element.

A horological movement of a watch, the horological movement comprising:
- a striking mechanism including a vibrating element and a striking device of said vibrating element,
- wherein the striking device includes a hammer fixed overhanging a structure of the horological movement by means of at least two elastic strips forming a flexible guide,
- wherein said strips are both arranged so as to extend in directions intersecting at a point C disposed along an axis T tangent to the vibrating element at a point intended to be subjected to the impact of the hammer, the hammer configured to be driven in movement in a direction D perpendicular to the axis T, or in a direction tangent to a direction D perpendicular to the axis T, and
- wherein the at least two elastic strips are connected to the hammer on a same side of the hammer.
