Abstract: A watch interaction simulation apparatus for carrying out interaction with a watch interaction member for a watch includes a sensor device adapted to be coupled with the watch interaction member. The sensor device is operable to sense an interaction with the watch interaction member. The apparatus includes an actuator device being coupled to the watch interaction member, an actuator control device for controlling the actuator device, and a sensor information computing device being operatively coupled to the sensor device.

Abstract: Disclosed is watch interaction simulation system, a watch interaction simulation apparatus, watch interaction simulation methods and a computer software product including executable software code for carrying our watch interaction simulation methods.

Abstract: A monolithic component for a timepiece, in particular for a mechanical timepiece, comprising at least one rigid portion and an elastically flexible portion and designed to transmit the movement of an actuator of the timepiece to a driven part of the timepiece. The monolithic component comprises a rigid frame, a first rigid driving member, and a first elastically flexible structure connecting said frame to said first driving member. The first elastically flexible structure is configured in a manner such as to provide a displacement of said first driving member with at least two degrees of freedom, said displacement being caused as a result of the actuator coming into contact with said first driving member.

Abstract: A monolithic horological component comprising a binary amagnetic CuNi alloy, said component being obtained by a process comprising the production of a mold for said component by photolithography and a step for electrodeposition. The fabrication process for the monolithic horological component is selected from UV-LiGA type processes.
