A watch including a timepiece striking mechanism, including a drive mechanism for driving and controlling the striking mechanism to operate at least one rigid hammer, movable between a first winding position and a second striking position, the hammer being arranged to strike a gong in the second striking position, this hammer including at least one magnetized portion arranged to cooperate with at least one actuator arranged to be driven in motion by the drive mechanism, the actuator including an alternating series of first areas and second areas with different magnetic field characteristics from each other, to whose influence the magnetized portion is successively subjected on order to trigger, as the case may be, the winding of the hammer or the striking of the hammer on the gong.
A watch comprising at least one timepiece striking mechanism, including a drive mechanism for driving and controlling the striking mechanism to operate at least one rigid hammer, movable between a first winding position and a second striking position, wherein said hammer is arranged to strike a gong in said second striking position, wherein said hammer includes at least one magnetized portion arranged to cooperate with at least one actuator capable of being driven in motion by said drive mechanism, said actuator includes at least one track with an alternating series of at least first areas and second areas with different magnetic field characteristics from each other, to whose influence said magnetized portion is successively subjected in order to trigger, as the case may be, the winding of said hammer or the striking of said hammer on said gong.
