Disclosed is a unidirectional clutch wheel assembly that includes a first wheel, a second wheel coaxial with the first wheel and including an inner toothing, a rigid drive member rotationally fixed with respect to the first wheel and at least one rigid pawl connected to the rigid drive member by an elastic strip. The rigid pawl is locked against the inner toothing by the rigid drive member to rotationally fix the first and second wheels to each other when the first wheel or the second wheel is rotationally driven in a direction corresponding to coupling. The inner toothing has asymmetrical teeth. The rigid pawl is arranged, in its position locked against the inner toothing, to be in point contact, in top plan view, with two consecutive teeth of the inner toothing and with the rigid drive member.

Disclosed is a method of making a timepiece spring from monocrystalline material including the following steps: drawing the spring; identifying one or more zones of weakness of the spring in which or in at least one of which the spring will break in the event of excessive deformation; manufacturing the spring from a wafer of monocrystalline material extending in a determined plane, while orienting the spring in the wafer such that the direction of the macroscopic stresses in the or each zone of weakness when the spring is deformed is substantially parallel to a plane of cleavage of the material intersecting the determined plane. Also disclosed is a timepiece spring obtained by such a method.

A mechanism (1) including a magnetic gear (2) including a first wheel (6B) and a second wheel (6C) provided with a first magnetic toothing (10) and a second magnetic toothing (12) respectively. The first and second magnetic toothings are respectively formed by first and second teeth made of a soft ferromagnetic material; and the magnetic gear (2) further includes a third wheel (6A) arranged between the first and second wheels (6B, 6C) and provided with a third magnetic toothing (8) formed by permanent magnetic poles, in particular by bipolar magnets. In general, the first wheel is a drive wheel, whereas the second wheel is driven into order to carry out a function or transmit a torque. The third intermediate wheel is preferably mounted such that it can rotate freely.

A timepiece mechanism including a magnetic gear formed of a first wheel and a second wheel, the first wheel being provided with first alternating magnetic poles forming a magnetic toothing and the second wheel being provided with a toothing made of ferromagnetic material which has a magnetic coupling with the magnetic toothing, such that, when one of the first or second wheels is driven in rotation, this wheel rolls, via the magnetic coupling, over a geometric circle centred on the other wheel and linked to this other wheel. The magnetic gear further includes a ferromagnetic element arranged relative to the first wheel so as to offset at least most of a magnetic disturbance torque to which the first wheel is subjected, resulting from the magnetic coupling, this magnetic disturbance torque having a periodic variation in intensity according to the angular position of the first wheel.

A reverser for a timepiece comprises a first input wheel which carries a first satellite pinion. An output mobile assembly comprises a first ratchet with which the first satellite pinion forms a click locking in rotation the output mobile assembly with respect to the first input wheel only in a first direction of rotation. A second input wheel has the same axis of rotation as the first input wheel and the output mobile assembly.
