1. An actuating device for a lock device, the actuating device comprising:
an actuating element manually rotatable about an actuating axis;
an electric generator arranged to be driven by manual rotation of the actuating element about the actuating axis; and
an electromechanical coupling device arranged to be electrically powered by the electric generator, the coupling device being configured to adopt a decoupled state, for decoupling the actuating element from a locking member, and a coupled state, for coupling the actuating element to the locking member;
wherein the coupling device comprises a blocker, a holder and a release mechanism;
wherein the holder is arranged to adopt a holding position, in which the holder holds the blocker, when the coupling device adopts the coupled state;
wherein the holder is arranged to adopt a released position, in which the holder does not hold the blocker, when the coupling device adopts the decoupled state; and
wherein the release mechanism is arranged to mechanically force the holder from the holding position to the released position by manual rotation of the actuating element about the actuating axis.
