A control mechanism adapted to be incorporated into a watch with a main setting device, which comprises at least two engagement positions, namely one rest position and at least one pulled position, and with at least one auxiliary setting device. The invention is also concerned with all types of watches suitable for the integration of such a control mechanism and comprising the mechanism, in particular a world time watch with an analogue indication of the time of the day and of a corresponding location for different time zones with an offset relative to the local time by a multiple of an hour or of half an hour, which thus allows a simultaneous and reliable reading of the time of the day for the indicated time zones and which, in particular, avoids inadvertent modification of the settings of the watch.
A control mechanism (30) adapted to be incorporated into a watch with a main setting device (11), which comprises at least two engagement positions (11a-c), namely a rest position (11a) and at least one pulled position (11b, 11c), and with at least one auxiliary setting device (12), the control mechanism (30) allowing to control with respect to each other the main setting device (11) and the auxiliary setting devices (12) in such a manner that the functions of the main setting device (11), with the exception of the rewinding of the watch in the rest position (11a), cannot be carried out at the same time as those of the auxiliary setting devices (12).
