Switch for resetting an analog clock hour hand

An analog timepiece, comprising:

• a gear housing having an inner surface;
• a horometric movement disposed within the gear housing;
• a minute hand gear operatively connected to the movement, the minute hand gear having a riser and a minute hand mounted to the riser visible outside the gear housing;
• a drive gear operatively connected to the movement, the drive gear having an upper surface and a bore, the riser extending through the bore;
• a cylinder gear operatively engaging the drive gear, the cylinder gear having a top surface, a bottom surface, an edge, an hour hand cylinder and an hour hand mounted to the hour hand cylinder visible outside the gear housing, the edge having a plurality of protruding spur teeth, the minute hand gear, the drive gear and the cylinder gear being coaxial;
• twelve equidistantly spaced crown teeth protruding from both the upper surface of the drive gear and the bottom surface of the cylinder gear, the twelve crown teeth of the cylinder gear matingly engaging the twelve crown teeth of the drive gear, the crown teeth having a first side, a second side, a ridge disposed between the first and second sides and at least a ninety degree angle formed between the first and second sides diverging from the ridge, the crown teeth having an outer end and the outer ends being disposed along a circle, the ridges of the crown teeth being disposed along the radii of the circle;
• a leaf spring to bias the cylinder gear in contact with the drive gear, the leaf spring having two ends, one end engaging the inner surface and the other end slidingly engaging the top surface;
• a switch tooth removably engaging the spur teeth of the cylinder gear, forcing the crown teeth of the cylinder gear to slide over the crown teeth of the drive gear and causing the hour hand to move independently of the horometric movement and the minute hand;
• a sliding switch to activate the switch tooth to removably engage the spur teeth of the cylinder gear, the sliding switch having a body, a slot through the body, a spring arm pending from the body having a distal end, and the switch tooth pending from the spring arm at the distal end;
• and
• a rod disposed through the slot and mounted to the gear housing so that the sliding switch pivots about the rod.
