Hybrid timepiece oscillator

A timepiece oscillator includes a sprung balance assembly including a balance with a rim, which is returned by a balance spring and pivoted with respect to a structure, on a first side by a torsion wire, fixed by an anchoring element to the structure, and on a second side, opposite to the first side, by a contactless magnetic pivot. The balance includes a first pole embedded with the balance and the torsion wire, this first pole having a symmetry with respect to the axis of the sprung balance assembly, and cooperating with a second pole included in the structure, for the magnetic suspension of the first pole, and to exert on the distal end of the torsion wire, opposite to this anchoring element, a magnetic force for tensioning the torsion wire.

Electronically Controlled Mechanical Watch
20240302800 · 2024-09-12 ·

An electrically controlled mechanical watch includes a mainspring, a speed regulator that controls a rotation cycle of a wheel train, a control unit that controls the speed regulator, a power generator, a first power accumulation device, a second power accumulation device that is coupled to the first power accumulation device in parallel via a switch, and a detection unit that detects a mechanical energy amount accumulated in the mainspring. In a case in which the switch is in an off state, when it is detected that the mechanical energy amount exceeds a first set value, the control unit controls the switch from the off state to an on state. In a case in which the switch is in the on state, when it is detected that the mechanical energy amount falls below a second set value, the control unit controls the switch from the on state to the off state.

MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT WITH POWER RESERVE DETECTION
20180164743 · 2018-06-14 · ·

The mechanical timepiece movement with power reserve indication includes a barrel system with a winding output connected to a chassis wheel of a differential gear, and with an unwinding output connected to a crown of the differential gear. The differential gear is connected to a power reserve indicator to display the power reserve. The timepiece movement includes at least one locking member disposed on the crown and at least one locking element disposed on the chassis wheel during the rotation of the crown relative to the chassis wheel. The locking member is intended to come into contact with the locking element when the power reserve is at zero, in order to stop the timepiece movement.
