Abstract (en)

The mechanism has axles (5, 6) mounted in a frame, and mobile units formed of a driven wheel (2) and a driving wheel (3) mounted around the axles, respectively, where the mobile units form permanent gears. An adjustment unit formed of a rocker (8) and an eccentric (20) adjusts a distance between the axles to decrease clearance of the gears. The rocker supports one of the axles. The former axle carries seconds hand (7). The former axle is supported on a side of one of the mobile units by a fixed bearing defined by the frame and on another side of the former mobile unit by the rocker.
