- the control stem consists of the winding and time-setting stem of the traditional watch which can be moved axially between its neutral position for winding and its pulled-out position for setting the time.
- a specific crown is provided in which an extension tube is added to the end of a push tube in order to be able to activate a control device inside the watch independently of the time-setting winding stem which remains stationary.
- This device has in particular the drawbacks of a complex construction of the crown as well as an adjustment of the position of the crown relative to the control member so as not to have untimely actuation.

- the invention makes it possible to control two different functions, in particular functions of different complications, independent of each other, by means of a single control member, one of the functions being controlled by said control member at the like a pusher and the other of the functions being controlled by said control member like a control rod.
- the number of control members present on the middle part to control the various functions can be reduced.
- the crown 2 and the control rod 3, once mounted, are always integral in movement (in rotation and in translation), whether the crown 2 is in its rest position or in the depressed position, thus constituting a single and same control member 1, which advantageously makes it possible to propose a control mechanism that is simple, robust and more economical to implement.
