Disclosed is a mechanical movement including an information display device including at least one indicator member for the information, mounted pivoting about a pivot axis A. The movement encloses a cavity receiving at least the indicator member, the cavity being arranged so that the indicator member is housed entirely inside the movement. The movement includes at least one mobile arranged pivoting coaxially with the pivot axis A and including an outer peripheral toothing, the mobile being housed in the cavity and arranged to carry the indicator member. The mobile includes a felloe including the outer peripheral toothing and defining an inner opening, the felloe carrying an arm passing radially through the inner opening in order to be mounted pivoting on the pivot axis A, the indicator member being represented on the arm. Also disclosed is a timepiece including such a mechanical movement.
A control member of a plurality of different functions of a timepiece movement, said control member comprising a crown and a control stem designed to be integral at least in rotation with said crown, said control stem being integral in rotation with a first actuating device of a first function, said crown being designed in order, in response to a pressure on said crown, to be movable in axial translation between a rest position and a depressed position in which a second function, separate from the first function, is actuated, and to return to the rest position when the pressure on the crown ceases, the crown also being designed to be, in the rest position, movable in axial rotation in at least one direction between at least one stable angular position and at least one actuating angular position so as to actuate, by rotation of said crown in said direction, said first function via the rotation of said control stem, wherein said control stem is designed so as to likewise be integral in axial translation with said crown so as to be movable in axial translation with the crown during the movement of said crown into the depressed position, and to be free in axial translation relative to the first actuating device during the movement of said crown into the depressed position, and wherein said control stem is designed to cooperate with a second actuating device of said second function during the movement of said crown into the depressed position so as to actuate said second function.
