BEARING OF AN HOROLOGICAL MOVEMENT, IN PARTICULAR SHOCK-ABSORBING, FOR A ROD OF A ROTATING WHEEL
An element for radial guiding of a pivot of a rod of a rotating wheel, for example a rod of a balance, for a bearing of an horological movement, in particular shock-absorbing, the guide element including a body configured to cooperate with a bearing unit in such a way as to be maintained in the unit, the body defining a space for radial retention of the pivot, to maintain the rod radially while allowing it to rotate. The radial guide element includes at least three localized radial-bearing parts distributed angularly, the three parts defining the radial retention space, each part having a face for contact with the pivot, each face locally having a cylindrical shape convex towards the inside of the radial retention space, the bearing parts having an elongated body.
HAND ROTATING AROUND TWO AXES
A display mechanism of a watch including at least one indicator member and a drive member assembly. The indicator member is mounted to rotate about a first axis of rotation and is configured to indicate a time. The indicator member also has a second axis of rotation extending along the indicator member and a rotary element mounted to rotate about the second axis of rotation. The drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member such that the first drive member drives the rotary element when it is moving about the first axis of rotation.

Mechanical timepiece oscillator which is isochronous in all positions
A mechanical oscillator with an inertia element oscillating about a virtual pivot axis of fixed position with respect to a fixed base to which it is suspended by several flexible connections, each including a deformable compass-like member including elastic strips forming a first arm fixed to a base and a second arm fixed to the inertia element, joined at a reversal edge defining a apex of the deformable compass-like member, wherein in an unstressed rest state of the oscillator, the projection of the apex is on a first side of the pivot axis, opposite to a second side where the ends of the first and second arms are projected.
Horological rivet
A rivet (1), in particular a horological rivet, comprising: a longitudinal axis (10); a first part (20), in particular a head (50); a second part (30), in particular a body (60),
the first part comprising a first handling element (1a) that is able to mechanically stress the first part, and the second part comprising a second handling element (1b) that is able to mechanically stress the second part, the first and second handling elements being such that they make it possible to apply mechanical actions to the first and the second part, respectively, that cause the first and second parts of the rivet to break, notably to shear.
