Mechanism (100) for the additional secondary display (2) of a first physical quantity, wherein a push-button (4) activates first means for the coupling/uncoupling of said secondary display (2) to or from a movement (6) including a first display (1), and a pivoting first physical quantity cannon-pinion heart (36), wherein said first means control the coupling/uncoupling to or from said movement (6). A second push-button (5) controls the zero reset of said secondary display (2), by uncoupling said first coupling/uncoupling means, and returning said heart-piece (36) to the original position thereof. Second coupling/uncoupling control means includes either a pivoting time zone wheel set (20) including a friction wheel (21), meshing with said movement (6), and a time zone wheel (25) which, when said wheel set (20) is in the coupling position, drives a second physical quantity cannon-pinion heart (70) and/or a third physical quantity cannon-pinion heart (80), said friction wheel and time zone wheel being coaxial and cooperating via friction; or an inter-time zone mechanism (93). Timepiece (1000) including an additional display mechanism of this type.
A mechanism for the additional secondary display of a first physical quantity, which includes a first push-button arranged for activating control means of first means for coupling/uncoupling said secondary display to or from a movement including a first display, wherein said secondary display includes a pivoting first physical quantity cannon-pinion heart, the coupling/uncoupling means of which is arranged for controlling the coupling/uncoupling to or from said movement, a second zero reset push-button for said secondary display for resetting said secondary display to zero by uncoupling said coupling/uncoupling means, and by returning said cannon-pinion heart to the original position thereof, wherein it includes second coupling/uncoupling control means, which includes either a pivoting time zone wheel set, including a friction wheel meshing with said movement and a time zone wheel, which, when said time zone wheel set is in the coupling position, directly or indirectly drives a second physical quantity cannon-pinion heart, and/or a third physical quantity cannon-pinion heart, said friction wheel and time zone wheel being coaxial and able to cooperate with each other via a friction coupling;
