Pendule (20) nach Anspruch 15, wobei das zweite Zahnrad (236) mit dem zweiten Wirkglied (220) der Pendule (20) über einen Pleuel-Kurbel-Mechanismus verbunden ist, dessen Pleuelstange dazu bestimmt ist, fest mit dem zweiten Wirkglied (220) der Pendule (20) verbunden zu werden, und dessen Kurbel drehfest mit dem zweiten Zahnrad (236) verbunden ist.
  18. Pendule (20) nach einem der Ansprüche 15 bis 17, wobei das Uhrwerk der Pendule (20) einen Kupplungshebel (240) beinhaltet, der angepasst ist, um eine Auskuppelposition einzunehmen, in der er das erste Zahnrad (235) trennt, und ein Hilfsfederhaus (234) beinhaltet, das dazu bestimmt ist, das erste Zahnrad (235) und das zweite Zahnrad (236) in Drehung zu versetzen, wobei das Uhrwerk der Pendule (20) weiter eine AON-Vorrichtung (242) umfasst, die konfiguriert ist, um mit dem Kupplungshebel (240) zusammenzuwirken, um ihn in die Auskuppelposition zu treiben, wenn der Taster (231) seine aktive Position erreicht, sodass der Taster (231) unter der Wirkung einer Taster-Rückstellfeder in seine Ruheposition getrieben wird.
  19. Pendule (20) nach einem der Ansprüche 13 bis 17, wobei das Uhrwerk der Pendule (20) eine Kurvenscheibe (211) umfasst, die durch eine dedizierte Energiequelle in Drehung versetzt wird und ein Kurvenscheibenprofil beinhaltet, an dem anliegend das erste Wirkglied (210) der Pendule (20) angeordnet ist, wobei das Kurvenscheibenprofil aufeinanderfolgende Abschnitte beinhaltet, die angepasst sind, um das erste Wirkglied (210) in mindestens drei verschiedene Positionen zu bewegen, um einen zeitlichen Zyklus von vorbestimmten Positionen zu definieren.
  20. Pendule (20) nach Anspruch 19, wobei das mindestens eine Steuermittel (213) konfiguriert ist, um die Drehung der Kurvenscheibe (211) zu blockieren oder freizugeben.
