OSCILLATING WINDING WEIGHT WITH A DECORATIVE ELEMENT FOR AN AUTOMATIC TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT
An oscillating winding weight of a movement of a timepiece is mounted such that it rotates on an arbor of the movement. The oscillating winding weight comprises a main element conferring the overall shape of the oscillating winding weight, a heavy part allowing the weight to oscillate in response to the movement of the timepiece and the force of gravity, and a decorative element. The decorative element is a logo or initials and attached to the main element. The main element comprises a first material, the decorative element comprises a second material, and the heavy part comprises a third material. The third material has a higher density than the second material, such that the heavy part is heavier than the decorative element in order to position the decorative element in a predefined position.
