A watch (1) with a mechanical movement with force control mechanism, and of the jumping seconds type. The mechanism is disposed in a finishing train of the mechanical movement between an energy source and an escape wheel set (11) linked to an oscillator (14) in oscillation to drive the escape wheel set in the same direction of rotation. The escape wheel set meshes with a seconds wheel (2). A rotary locking element (7) is arranged to cooperate with a stop member (3) mechanically linked to the accumulation seconds wheel to lock in a stop mode or release in a jump mode the finishing train according to the angular position of the seconds wheel. A stop member spring (4) rotates the accumulation fixed seconds wheel and the escapement mechanism linked to the oscillator at each half oscillation of the oscillator in stop mode.
A mechanical movement watch (1) with force control mechanism, and of the jumping seconds type, the force control mechanism being disposed in a finishing train (5, 8, 9, 10) of the mechanical movement, which is arranged between an energy source (25) and an escape wheel set (11) that includes an escapement mechanism linked to an oscillator (14) intended to be set in oscillation in normal function by a driving force generated by said energy source in order to make said escape wheel set (11) rotate always in a single direction of rotation at each half oscillation of the oscillator (14), said escape wheel set (11) meshing with a seconds wheel (2),
