Abstract (en)

[origin: CN109298616A] The invention relates to a chiming mechanism (100) for a watch (1000) comprising: an hourly snail wheel (190) driven by a movement (200), a chiming wheel set (2) comprising a ratchet (22) and a chiming rack pinion (24), a hourly rack (20) for reading the snail wheel (19) and driving the pinion (24) to pivot, a catch pawl (85) that is set to move to drive the ratchet (22) each time of chiming, a mode selection mechanism (9) configured to select a specific chiming mode by a user in different chiming modes including a silent mode and define the angular position of a cam (90) having an outer contour (98). In the silent mode, a maximum radius area (98S) pushes a beak (61) of a mute lever (60) backwards to orient the mute lever to a position where the a main arm (64) of the mute lever moves thecatch pawl away from the ratchet, thus disabling each passing chiming.
