MAGNETIC CONTROL AND/OR DRIVE MECHANISM THROUGH A WATCH CASE
One aspect of the invention relates to a horological assembly (2000) including a watch (1000) and an adjustment tool (200) for driving, without direct contact, a first mobile (1) internal to the watch (1000) throughout its case, for adjustment and/or recharging, the adjustment tool (200) including first magnetic areas (210) cooperating in attraction or repulsion with the first mobile (1) which is pivotably and axially movable about a first axis (D1) against an elastic return means (5) fastened to the case (10), between an active position in which the adjustment tool (200) draws the first mobile (1) towards an end-of-travel surface (6) in an engaged position with a second mobile (7) inside the case (10), and an inactive position in the absence of the adjustment tool (200) and in which the elastic return means (5) keeps the first mobile (1) disengaged from the second mobile (7).

Method for adapting a timepiece movement provided to operate in ambient atmospheric pressure so as to operate in a low-pressure atmosphere
A method for adapting a timepiece movement includes measuring a loss of energy for each free oscillation of the balance at atmospheric pressure; measuring the loss of energy for each free oscillation at a given low pressure corresponding to a working pressure intended for a modified movement; using i) the measured loss of energy at atmospheric pressure and ii) the measured loss of energy at the given low pressure, determining a percentage of energy gain of the balance between respective i) measurements of the measured loss of energy at atmospheric pressure and ii) measurements of the measured loss of energy at the given low pressure; and reducing a torque delivered to the escapement by a value corresponding to the determined percentage of energy gain.
