  • the indexing element may be driven onto the indexing body.
  • the first pull position corresponds to a position of the first rod in which the rod is most deeply engaged in the movement.
  • the second pull position corresponds to the first indexed and stable position of the first rod encountered when a pulling action is exerted on the first rod while it is in the first position.
  • the third pull position corresponds to the first indexed and stable position of the first rod encountered when a pulling action is exerted on the first rod while it is in the second position.
  • the invention also relates to a method of mounting an indexing device 100, 100' of a pull tab as described above or to a method of mounting a mechanism 600 as described above or to a method of mounting a movement 700 as described above or to a method of mounting a timepiece as described above.
  • the indexing element can alternatively be mounted on the indexing body in a third position.
  • a pull tab indexing element can be selected and configured upstream of the assembly of the timepiece movement, such that the pull device can position the stem of the mechanism in which it takes part in particular according to two or three positions. Thanks to these solutions, in which a pull indexing element can be chosen and configured upstream of the assembly of the timepiece movement, the risk that a watchmaker could make an assembly error when assembling the movement in which the mechanism takes part, or during a re-dressing operation, is eliminated.
  • a calendar movement and a time zone movement of the same family may share the same base movement and a pull-out indexing device having the same components, these components, in particular the indexing element, simply being configured differently to define the pull-out indexing positions adapted to the two movements.
  • a pull-out indexing device having the same components can equip very different movements or watch parts.
  • the solutions described make it possible to produce a configurable pull device, which in particular makes it possible to implement a two- or three-position mechanism depending on the number of functions to be corrected. These solutions make it possible to maximize the number of components and assemblies common to the movements of the same family.
  • indexing body is preferably meant a body supporting an indexing element, in particular a body supporting an indexing cam.
