The invention relates to a timepiece assortment including a timepiece component fixed to an arbor with the aid of a fixing element. According to the invention, the fixing element is made of at least partially amorphous metal alloy, is secured to the timepiece component by partial insertion and includes a hole into which the arbor is driven.

The invention relates to a composite component comprising an element with an opening into which extend stressed resilient means confined within a volume of an at least partially amorphous metal alloy, said composite component comprising a passage that, is centred with respect to said stressed resilient means.

The invention relates to an assembly system including a member made of at least a first material including a staff and a shoulder, the staff of the member being received in an aperture of a part made of a second material having little or no plastic domain. According to the invention, the assembly system includes a locking element made of a third material arranged to elastically attach the part between the shoulder of said member and the locking element and in that the locking element is a washer whose internal wall radially grips the staff of said member and whose peripheral portion exerts an elastic radial force vertical to the shoulder of said member in order to secure the assembly of the member-part-locking element.

A process for adjusting a device including a first piece and at least one second piece, wherein the at least one second piece is fixed to the first piece by a joint made from a first material arranged between the first and second piece. The first material is an at least partially amorphous metal alloy. The process further includes: heating at least the joint to a heating temperature in a range of between a glass transition temperature and a crystallization temperature of the first material; modifying a position of the at least one second piece until a desired determined position is obtained; cooling at least the joint so that it retains its at least partially amorphous state.

Disclosed is a gear assembly, including: a shaft with a gearwheel; a tube into which the shaft is inserted; and a washer interposed between the shaft and the tube in an axial direction of the shaft, wherein the washer has a higher hardness than the tube.

Disclosed is a gear assembly, including: a shaft; a spur gear that is made of a material having a crystal lattice plane and through which the shaft is inserted; and a fixing member that fixes the spur gear to the shaft.

A method produces an assembly of an elastic holding member-timepiece component assembly with a support element. The elastic holding member is made of an electrically insulating material and the support element is made of an electrically conductive material. The method includes mounting the assembly with the support element aiming to define at least one zone for receiving at least one element for blocking a movement of the holding member relative to the support element, and producing by galvanic metal growth the at least one blocking element on at least one of the reception zones.
