1. A timepiece including a watch movement and a repeater striking mechanism which is automatically released by the watch movement,
wherein the striking mechanism includes a release lever fitted with a click which is pivotably mounted on the release lever
and which meshes with the teeth of a ratchet detent wheel such that, during automatic release, a release cam driven by the
motion work of the watch movement causes the release lever to pivot towards the detent wheel and the click drives the detent
wheel in rotation,
wherein the striking mechanism includes a winding cam which cooperates with an associated shoulder of the release lever to
control the winding of the release lever against a spring, wherein the release lever is held in its wound position by a locking
device, and wherein the release cam releases the striking mechanism by unlocking the locking device.
