A method for compensating the rate as a function of the temperature of a watch (1). A water-resistant case (2) contains a movement (3) with an oscillator (4), in an internal volume V occupied by n moles of a gas of constant R, where the pressure coefficient Cp and the humidity coefficient Ch of the movement (3) are determined, an optimal value Cto of the thermal coefficient Ct of the oscillator (4) is calculated defining the relatively linear variation of the rate thereof as a function of the temperature T, compensating the pressure and humidity deviations. The pressure P and/or the constant R and/or the quantity of gas and/or the temperature T are varied in the case. In the factory, the thermal coefficient of elastic return, and/or the quantity and/or the nature of the gas in the watch, and/or the internal volume of the case (2) are modified.

Timepiece resonator mechanism with a pivoting weight pivoting about a virtual axis, and comprising a flexure pivot mechanism and a first and second fixed support to which is attached, by a first resilient assembly and respectively a second resilient assembly which together define the virtual axis, a rotary support carrying the pivoting weight, this flexure pivot mechanism is planar, the first resilient assembly includes, on either side of the virtual axis, a first outer flexible strip and a first inner flexible strip, joined to each other by a first intermediate strip stiffer than each of the latter, together defining a first direction passing through the virtual pivot axis, and the second resilient assembly includes a second flexible strip defining a second direction passing through the virtual pivot axis.

A monolithic timepiece regulator made in a single plate, comprising an external rigid element, an internal rigid element, and elastic suspensions connecting the external rigid element to the internal rigid element and enabling oscillatory rotating movements between them. The internal rigid element has arms which are rigidly connected with one another, leaving between each other free angular spaces, and the elastic suspensions are located in these free angular spaces.
