The movement transmission system (90), notably for a timepiece calendar system (200), includes a driving mobile (4) pivoted about a first axis (A4) and has a driving toothset (42) distributed over a curved profile (43); a driven mobile (7) pivoted about a second axis (A7) and having a driven toothset (72); an intermediate pinion (8) pivoted about a third axis (A8) and having a toothset (81) driven by the driving toothset (42) and driving the driven toothset (72); the toothset (42), the curved profile (43), the driven toothset (72) and the toothset (81) being arranged at a same level or in a same plane, and the driving mobile (4), the driven mobile (7) and the intermediate pinion (8) being arranged so that the driving mobile (4) moves the driven mobile (7) via the intermediate pinion (8) through 1/m steps for at least some steps of the driving mobile (4), m being a real number greater than 1, and so that the driving mobile (4) can define an angular position, with minimum play, of the driven mobile (7) via the pinion (8), whereas the driving mobile (4) is in a given angular position.
