Abstract: A monolithic timepiece mechanism made in a single plate of material, including a frame, a first elastic suspension and an inertial regulating member which is connected to the frame by the first elastic suspension so as to be able to oscillate, a blocking mechanism having a blocking member connected to the frame by a second elastic suspension. The blocking member is controlled by the regulating member to be able to regularly and alternatively hold and release a energy distribution member and to regularly transmit energy from the energy distribution member to the regulating member.

Abstract: Part for a timepiece movement, made of a composite material comprising a rigid matrix and a forest of nanotubes contained in the rigid matrix.
Abstract: A timepiece mechanism comprising a regulator, an energy distributing member a pallet fork controlled by the regulator to alternate in locking and releasing the energy distributing member, and a decoupling member elastically connected to the pallet fork and to the regulator. The decoupling member is arranged so as to oscillate between two stop elements.

Abstract: Monolithic timepiece regulator made in a single plate, having an external rigid element, an internal rigid element, and elastic suspensions connecting the external rigid element to the internal rigid element and enabling oscillatory rotating movements between them. The internal rigid element has arms which are rigidly connected with one another, leaving between each other free angular spaces, and the elastic suspensions are located in these free angular spaces.

Abstract: A mechanism for a timepiece, comprising a an oscillating regulator mechanism, a rotary energy distribution toothed wheel, a blocking mechanism controlled by the regulator mechanism to alternatively hold and release the energy distribution wheel, and a monostable elastic member linked to the regulator mechanism and bearing on the teeth of the energy distribution wheel. The teeth of the energy distribution wheel are adapted to elastically deform the monostable elastic member by cam effect during rotation of the wheel, and the monostable elastic member is adapted to elastically return to its rest position, thus releasing mechanical energy to the regulator mechanism.
