A watch winding device includes a motor driving a winding operation, an acoustic measurer of the oscillator of a watch in the winding position, and a controller analysing the signals transmitted by the measurer and comparing them to desired values that can be parameterized to regulate the operation of the motor by starting this motor when the operating amplitude of the oscillator is less than a minimum value, and by stopping this motor when the working amplitude is higher than a maximum value, these acoustic measurers are fixed in a base behind an sensing opening of the acoustic sensor. The device includes an acoustic duct which places a receiving port, located inside a chamber for housing a watch, in communication with a transmitting port movable by the motor facing this sensing opening.

A method of setting inertia of and/or poizing a timepiece sprung balance assembly including: manufacturing a balance and a balance spring irreversibly assembled to each other; fixing an outer coil of the balance spring in position in a tamperproof manner to a balance spring stud which is immobilized in a tamperproof manner by irreversible attachment to a balance cock; determining a peripheral surface of the balance, every point of which is remote from the balance spring by a first predefined distance; performing a re-machining operation only on the peripheral area.

Watch winding device, with a motor driving a winding operation, means for acoustic measurement of the oscillator of a watch in the winding position, control means analysing the signals transmitted by the measuring means and comparing them to desired values that can be parameterized to regulate the operation of the motor by starting this motor when the operating amplitude of the oscillator is less than a minimum value, and by stopping this motor when the working amplitude is higher than a maximum value, these acoustic measuring means are fixed in a base behind an sensing opening of the acoustic sensor means, the device includes an acoustic duct which places a receiving port, located inside a chamber for housing a watch, in communication with a transmitting port movable by the motor facing this sensing opening.

A microsystem for setting the rate of a timepiece oscillator, including a wheel/inertia block including an off-center unbalance and a toothing and arranged to pivot with respect to a base plate of the microsystem, which includes an actuator driving a first active click arranged to drive the toothing, and includes a device for stopping the toothing in position, wherein the actuator is a thermomechanical actuator arranged to convert a flow of light energy into a displacement of a distal end of the thermomechanical actuator, which carries a first active click or directly controls a movement of a first active click, and the microsystem is capable of incorporation in a watch including a crystal transparent to predetermined wavelengths ranges and allowing the passage of a light ray to regulate the microsystem.
