In a timepiece wherein the second, minute and hour hands are rotated about a common axis, an externally operated hand position resetting arrangement is provided for shifting a second hand connection lever and a minute and hour hand correction lever into engagement with respective cams to accomplish the resetting of the hands to a zero position.
A setting device for a timepiece comprising a second-indicating element (1) and at least one other time-indicating element comprises a first manual control element (2) that can occupy a neutral position and a position for setting the other time-indicating element or elements, and a mechanism (3) for resetting the second-indicating element (1) to zero, connected to the first manual control element (2). The reset mechanism (3) comprises a second manual control element (6) and is configured so that actuating the second manual control element (6) resets the second-indicating element (1) to zero when the first manual control element (2) is in the position for setting the other time-indicating element or elements and has no effect on the second-indicating element (1) when the first manual control element (2) is in the neutral position.
