Abstract
A wristwatch including a watch case; a clock movement in said watch case and a dial. At least one part of a three-dimensional figure above the dial can be caused to move in a plane non-parallel to the dial by a shaft extending above the dial in a direction perpendicular to the dial. A device for driving the figure is arranged below the dial to control the movements of this shaft. The figure can be formed by a mechanical bird.
