    Abstract: Chiming timepiece comprising a movement and an acoustic indication mechanism with a control mechanism controlling the performance of a chime or tune by setting control lifts in motion that each actuate a hammer arranged to strike a gong, and each control lift is releasable between a released position, in which it is decoupled from the control mechanism, and a resting position, in which it is able to be driven for actuation of the hammer by the control mechanism that is set in motion by the movement, or by a manual actuator, and tune selection devices for the selection of at least one particular chime or tune are controlled by this movement or by a manual selector and control the passage of each control lift from its released position to its resting position or vice versa.
