A timepiece regulator includes a detached lever escapement mechanism, and a resonator with a quality factor Q including an inertia element comprising an impulse pin integral with an inertia element and cooperating with a fork of the lever. This inertia element is subjected to the action of elastic return means directly or indirectly fixed to the plate and is arranged to cooperate indirectly with an escape wheel set comprised in the escapement mechanism. This resonator mechanism is a resonator with a virtual pivot rotating about a main axis (DP), with a flexure bearing subjected to the return force of at least two flexible strips attached to the plate, defining together a virtual pivot with a main axis (DP), the lever pivoting about a secondary axis (DS).

A watch component includes a shaft member including a shaft and a flange portion formed to protrude in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the shaft, a body portion made of silicon and provided with an insertion hole through which the shaft is inserted, and a fixing member mounted on the shaft at a side of the body portion opposite from the flange portion. The body portion includes an accommodating recessed portion configured to accommodate the flange portion, and is fixed to the shaft member by being interposed between the flange portion and the fixing member.

A mechanical regulator for horology including an escapement collaborating with an oscillator provided with an inertial element oscillating in an oscillation plane by virtue of a return element. The escapement includes a pin rigidly connected to the inertial element, an anchor including a fork collaborating with the pin, and two pallet stones collaborating with teeth of an escape wheel. The regulator is configured such that, during a first frictional locking phase that occurs before an unlocking phase, and during a second frictional locking phase that occurs after an impulse phase, the pin is in contact with the fork so as to push same, and a tooth of the escape wheel is in rubbing contact with one of the pallet stones.
