Abstract: A date display device (10) including: a dial (11) including date indications in the form of a character scale (15), of which a part is of apertures (150), a mobile index (12) with respect to the dial (11); a date mechanism configured to move the index (12) by one step per day, such that each position occupied by the index (12) denotes one of the characters (15); and a mobile element (13) arranged between the dial (11) and the date mechanism having on a surface facing the dial, a portion of interest (131), the mobile element being linked with the date mechanism such that the latter drives it in an active position, wherein the portion of interest is visible through the aperture (150) and in a rest position wherein the portion of interest is set back from the aperture and wherein a marking zone (160) is visible through the aperture.

Abstract: A flexible hand actuation mechanism to which a disk of a horological movement applies a first angular rotation (?1), the flexible hand including a first cannon and a second cannon connected to a point of the flexible hand via flexible arms, an operating position where the first cannon and the second cannon are coaxial about an exit axis, the first cannon being fitted with a first defined prestress angle, the second cannon being fitted with a second defined prestress angle of opposite direction to that of the first cannon, the actuation mechanism being arranged to actuate the flexible hand such that the latter changes shape and length in the desired manner by varying the angular position of the second cannon with respect to the first cannon by pivoting about the exit axis.
