The invention concerns a winding and time-setting control device (100) for a timepiece movement including, connected in rotation, a movement stem (2) secured in rotation to a sliding pinion (8) driven in translation by a lever (52) between winding and time-setting positions, and a control stem (1) sliding between winding and time-setting control positions, actuating a pull-out mechanism (6). It is characterized in that the mechanism (6) includes a first pull-out piece (40) including, about a first axis (A1), an arm (40A) movable with the control stem (1), and a pivot (40B) cooperating with a complementary pivot (60B) of a second pull-out piece (60) driving the lever (52) and including an arm (60A) movable inside a housing (61) in the movement stem (2). The invention also concerns a timepiece incorporating a device (100) of this type.
A winding and time-setting control device for a timepiece movement of the type including a movement stem rotating about an axis in a movement plate and secured in rotation to a sliding pinion, said sliding pinion axially movable via the action of a sliding pinion lever along said axis in translation between, on the one hand, a winding position in which said sliding pinion is arranged so as to cooperate with a winding mechanism to set the latter in rotation, and on the other hand, a time-setting position in which said sliding pinion is arranged so as to cooperate with a time-setting mechanism to set the latter in rotation, said device including, connected in rotation to said movement stem by transmission means and shifted relative to said movement stem, a control stem rotating about a longitudinal axis and axially slidable at least between a winding control position and a time-setting control position and arranged for cooperating with a manual control crown, said sliding pinion lever forming part of a pull-out mechanism actuated by the sliding of said first stem between said winding control position and said time-setting control position, said sliding pinion meshing with said winding mechanism in said winding position when said control stem is in the winding control position, or with said time-setting mechanism when said control stem is in the time-setting control position, said pull-out mechanism including a first pull-out piece forming a lever and including, on either side of a first pivoting axis, a first pull-out piece arm that moves in translation via the effect of a translation of said control stem, and a pivot, and wherein said pivot cooperates, along a third pivoting axis, with a complementary pivot comprised in a second pull-out piece forming a lever and including, on either side of a second pivoting axis, on the one hand, a second pull-out piece arm movable inside a housing comprised in said movement stem, and on the other hand, said complementary pivot, said second pull-out piece driving said sliding pinion lever to move said sliding pinion.
