  • Method for manufacturing a timepiece component and component obtained by this method
    Patent number: 11181868
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing metal timepiece components, characterised in that it comprises the steps of forming a multi-level photoresist mould, by means of a UV-LIGA type method, and of galvanically depositing a layer of at least one metal starting from at least two conductive layers so as to form a block that substantially reaches the top surface of the photoresist.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2021
    Assignee: Nivarox-FAR S.A.
    Inventors: Clare Golfier, Fatmir Salihu, Pierre Cusin

  • Resonator with reduced sensitivity to climatic variations
    Patent number: 10001749
    Abstract: A compensating balance spring for a thermally compensated sprung balance resonator including a core formed from at least one non-metallic material. The core is entirely coated with a layer which is moisture proof to render the balance spring less sensitive to climatic variations. The compensating balance spring can be applied to timepieces.

  • Resonator with reduced sensitivity to climatic variations
    Patent number: 10001750
    Abstract: A compensating balance spring for a thermally compensated sprung balance resonator including a core formed from at least one non-metallic material. The core is partially coated with at least one layer which is moisture proof to render the balance spring less sensitive to climatic variations.
