MECHANICAL COMPONENT AND TIMEPIECE
An escape wheel and pinion includes an escape wheel that has an axle, a web arm which holds the axle, and a rim which has a plurality of teeth. The web arm has a spoke which radially extends from the rim, and a comb including a radial spine and cross beams branching from the spoke.
TIMEPIECE WHEEL SET
A timepiece wheel set, including an arbor including a housing for reception of a plate and including, on either side of the housing, an axial abutment surface maintained in abutment on the plate, which includes a radially resilient arm and a second arm forming together a clamp clamping a radial bearing surface of the arbor in proximity to the axial abutment surface. The arbor further includes an entry ramp arranged to push back radially the first resilient arm and the second resilient arm, to allow the plate to be placed on the arbor.
Quartz watch movement
A quartz watch movement includes a minute wheel connected to a handsetting wheel by an intermediate wheel, a shaft of a third wheel placed in a shaft hole in a main plate, elastic connection structures being rotated by a third-wheel shaft gear and a minute wheel piece gear which are engaged together and are arranged between a minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear when a stem is pulled or the minute hand is adjusted through the handsetting wheel, the intermediate wheel and a minute wheel shaft gear, and a second-hand stop lever detachably connected to a second-hand stop electrode. The elastic connection structures are arranged between the minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear, so that the quartz watch is accurate in travel time and has the function of efficiently adjusting the hour hand and the minute hand when omitting a handsetting middle wheel.
