To provide a timepiece striking mechanism that removes unwanted noise generated by hammer rebound in striking a gong with a hammer.SOLUTION: A timepiece striking mechanism includes a mechanism for controlling at least one hammer 1. The hammer 1 includes a first striking area 2 arranged to strike, in a first direction of travel, a first resonant component 3 on a first striking surface 30 when the at least one hammer 1 moves from a recoiled position to a first impact position. The hammer 1 includes, opposite to the first striking area 2, a second striking area 5 arranged to strike, in a second direction of travel opposite to the first direction of travel, when the hammer 1 recoils from the first impact position to the recoiled position, a second striking surface 40 included either in the first resonant component 3 or a second resonant component 4 distinct from the first resonant component 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ゴングでハンマーを打撃する際の、ハンマーのはね返りで生じる望ましくない雑音を除去する計時器打撃機構を提供する。【解決手段】少なくとも１つのハンマー１を制御する機構を備えている計時器打撃機構であって、ハンマー１は、第１の打撃領域２を有し、少なくとも１つのハンマー１がはね返り位置から第１の衝突位置に動くときに、第１の打撃面３０上の第１の反響部品３を第１の移動方向に打撃するように構成され、ハンマー１は、第１の打撃領域２の反対側に、ハンマー１が第１の衝突位置からはね返り位置にはね返るときに、第１の反響部品３、または第１の反響部品３とは異なる第２の反響部品４に含まれている第２の打撃面４０を、第１の移動方向とは逆の第２の移動方向に打撃するように構成された第２の打撃領域５を有する。【選択図】図４
