Timepiece movement comprising a timepiece device
The invention relates to a timepiece movement comprising a time striking device provided with an anti-rebound device configured to generate only one partial rebound of the hammers after each strike of the hammers on the gongs, and such that the hammers do not touch the gongs in vibration as a result of this rebound, so as not to affect the sound quality produced by the strike. The anti-rebound device is configured to be alternately in two configurations: - a first configuration in which the anti-rebound device prevents the rotation of the hammer body of the hammers in a first direction of rotation towards the gongs starting from at least a first intermediate position between the rest position and the limit position of the hammers in which they are energized; - a second configuration in which the anti-rebound device neither prevents nor slows down the rotation of the hammers in the first direction of rotation between the limit position of the hammer body and the contact position with the gongs, as long as the anti-rebound device is in the second configuration when the hammer body moves past a second intermediate position between the rest position and the limit position.

Timepiece striking mechanism
The invention relates to a timepiece movement comprising a resonant member and a hammer, the hammer comprising a first part (21) and a second part (22) assembled by a pivot connection so that they can pivot relative to each other about an axis of rotation. The first part and the second part of the hammer carry respectively a first permanent magnet and a second permanent magnet forming a magnetic return system between the two parts. The permanent magnets are arranged to generate an attractive force between them, thereby pulling the first part and the second part towards a stable configuration of the hammer. During a stroke, the first part, called the driving part, abuts against a fixed stop before the second part, called the striking part, reaches the resonant member, also called "sound spring", the striking part then continuing to rotate towards the sound spring to complete the stroke, then moving back to the driving part, finally stopping in a rest position away from the sound spring. The magnetic return system can limit the risk of rebound after the stroke to hit the sound spring again.
