Uhr nach Anspruch 11, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie mindestens einen Energieakkumulator, um den Animationsmechanismus mit Energie zu versorgen, einen Regler der Geschwindigkeit des Animationsmechanismus und einen Steuermechanismus des Animationsmechanismus umfasst, wobei der Steuermechanismus erste Steuermittel umfasst, die eingerichtet sind, um den Animationsmechanismus auf Anforderung eines Benutzers in Gang zu setzen und anzuhalten, und zweite Steuermittel, die eingerichtet sind, um den Animationsmechanismus anzuhalten, wenn die verbliebene Energie des Energieakkumulators einen bestimmten Energiegrenzwert erreicht.
  13. Uhr nach Anspruch 12, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die ersten Steuermittel des Steuermechanismus einen Druckknopf, ein Säulenrad, das mit dem Druckknopf zusammenwirkt, um sich zwischen einer Anhalteposition STOP des Animationsmechanismus und einer Ingangsetzungsposition GO des Animationsmechanismus zu bewegen, und eine Arretierungswippe umfasst, die eingerichtet ist, um die Position STOP und die Position GO des Säulenrads zu ertasten und sich zwischen einer Arretierungsposition des Reglers, wenn die Position STOP des Säulenrads ertastet ist, und einer Betriebsposition, in der der Regler frei ist, wenn die Position GO des Säulenrads ertastet ist, zu bewegen.
  14. Uhr nach einem der Ansprüche 12 bis 13, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die zweiten Steuermittel des Steuermechanismus eine zweite Arretierungswippe (80) umfassen, die eingerichtet ist, um sich zwischen einer Betriebsposition, in der der Regler frei ist, wenn die Energie des Akkumulators über einem festgelegten Grenzwert liegt, und einer Arretierungsposition des Reglers, wenn die Energie des Akkumulators einen festgelegten Grenzwert erreicht, zu bewegen.
  15. Uhr nach Anspruch 14, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie einen Gangreservefinger (82) umfasst, der auf einem Gangreserveanzeigedrehteil (84) fest angebracht ist, das mit dem Energieakkumulator kinematisch verbunden ist, wobei der Gangreservefinger (82) eingerichtet ist, um auf die zweite Arretierungswippe (80) zu drücken, wenn der festgelegte Energiegrenzwert erreicht ist und die Arretierungswippe (80) in die Arretierungsposition des Reglers zu führen.
