  • Annular oscillating weight and timepiece comprising such an oscillating weight
    Patent number: 9557712
    Abstract: The oscillating weight includes a drive ring and a heavy sector. The drive ring includes an annular transmission portion which has a coaxial toothing and a second annular portion concentric to the annular transmission portion, the heavy sector being fixed to the second annular portion. The drive ring further includes a plurality of connecting elements which are elastically deformable and which connect the annular transmission portion to the second annular portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Timepiece regulating member
    Patent number: 9201399
    Abstract: A timepiece regulating member including a balance wheel oscillating about an axis subjected to a torque exerted by a torsion return mechanism. The balance includes an attachment mechanism causing it to oscillate integrally with a torsion wire forming the torsion return mechanism specific to the balance, a largest dimension of the cross-section of a useful part of the torsion wire which is subjected to torsion is less than 100 micrometers, a smallest dimension of the cross-section of the useful part is less than 50 micrometers, a total length of the torsion wire is less than 6 millimeters, and the regulating member includes a mechanism tensioning the torsion wire.

  • Regulating member including a balance, a balance spring, a balance spring stud and stud holder and an assembly formed of a balance spring stud and a stud holder
    Patent number: 9058021
    Abstract: The balance spring stud holder has a housing in the form of a groove arranged to longitudinally receive and position the stud. The housing is at least partially laterally closed by an elastic strip which is arranged to return the stud against the bottom of the groove so that the stud can be locked, when the stud is inserted into the housing between the elastic strip and the bottom of the groove.
