1. A device for selecting and controlling functions of a horological movement, the device comprising:
a selector member arranged so that when said selector member is acted on, said selector member causes a column wheel comprising a plurality of coaxial cams integral with one another to rotate together in a single direction of rotation; and
a plurality of transmission yokes, each of which is arranged such that each transmission yoke bears against a cam specific thereto so as to be able to successively occupy, depending on an angular position of said cam, a rest position and an active position,
wherein each transmission yoke is independently configured so that when a transmission yoke occupies an active position, that transmission yoke is disposed in a path of a corresponding control member, and when a transmission yoke is acted on from a rest position, to drive the transmission yoke to an active position, that transmission yoke is moved towards a position for controlling a function specific thereto.
