1. An actuating mechanism for a timepiece movement comprising
an actuating lever for actuating a clock function intended to be mounted so as to be able to move on a frame element of the timepiece movement, between an inactive position and an active position,
a control lever intended to be moved in response to pressure applied by a user, between an initial position and an actuated position, so as to be able to move said actuating lever from the inactive position to the active position,
an elastic return member arranged to return said control lever to the initial position in response to said control lever being released by the user,
a control member capable of pivoting between a first inactive state, in which the control member locks said actuating lever in the inactive position, and a second state, in which the control member releases said actuating lever to allow said actuating lever to move to the active position,
said control lever being arranged to act on said control member, in response to pressure applied by the user, and move said control member from the first state to the second state,
wherein said control lever has an elastically deformable portion, arranged to act on said actuating lever and move said actuating lever towards the active position in response to the pressure applied by the user, and a rigid portion arranged to act on said actuating lever and move said actuating lever towards the inactive position in response to said control lever being released, and
wherein said actuating mechanism comprises a jumper arranged to return said control member to the first state in response to said control lever being released.
