Sympathetic timepiece assembly

A method for time setting a sympathetic watch (200) by a sympathetic clock (100), with which said watch (200) forms a sympathetic assembly (1000) including a connection mechanism including at least two distinct transmission lines between said clock (100) and said watch (200) when said watch (200) is deposited in a receptacle (150) included in said clock (100), in a transfer position, said watch (200) including at least one resonator (10), and a display gear train and a finishing gear train, and, either a stop mechanism (20) arranged to stop the operation of said resonator (10), or a coupling mechanism allowing to separate the display from the finishing gear train, or else both such a stop mechanism (20) and such a coupling mechanism, and said watch (200) including at least one hour display (4) and one minute display (5), a reference position of which will be defined, wherein to perform said relative time setting, said clock (100) drives said displays (4;

• 5), of the watch backwards, in the counter-clockwise direction, with a stroke long enough to guarantee the passage of said displays (4;
• 5), by said reference position.
