A time-setting mechanism for a clock movement with perpetual Julian date comprising a device for driving a date indicator including driving means for moving forward said indicator by one jump every twenty-four hours. The movement has an adjusting device for automatically moving said indicator by a number of steps taking into account months with 28, 29 or 30 days, said device comprising a rotary cam driven by at least one step every twenty-four hours, said cam having a profile for steering a sensor bringing about: the oscillating movement of a moving mechanism provided with a pawl system for moving forward the date indicator by the required additional number of adjusting steps; and for moving forward said cam by a number of steps equal to the number of said indicator adjusting steps so as to make it move one complete cycle per year.
Time setting mechanism of a perpetual date clock movement (1) which includes a drive device (8) tor driving a date indicator (2) comprising driving means (10) that can advance said indicator (2) by a jump once every 24 hours this movement (1) further comprising an adjustment device allowing this indicator (2) to make adjusting steps to take account automatically of months with 28, 29 or 30 days, said device including a rotating cam (26) driven by at least one step every 24 hours, this cam having a profile (28) suitable for driving a sensor (3) causing:
