Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the movement itself is covered with a magnetic material, there is a problem of increasing the size of the timepiece.
In addition, since the tourbillon is a complicated structure that rotates in the movement, it is difficult to cover only the tourbillon with a magnetic material.
[0008] In addition, in the prior art, when the strength of the magnetic field exceeds the saturation magnetic flux density of the magnetic material, the magnetic flux leaked from the magnetic material passes through the magnetic components in the movement.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain sufficient magnetic resistance

Abstract

The present invention provides a tourbillon, a movement, and a timepiece capable of obtaining excellent magnetic resistance while suppressing enlargement. It has: a frame unit (41), which rotates around the axis (O1) of the frame shafts (46, 47) and is equipped with a speed regulating escapement (45); a first magnetic part, which is a functional part of a timepiece, and, Extending in a first direction when viewed from the axial direction; and a second magnetic member extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, connecting the first magnetic member when viewed from the axial direction in a plan view The angle formed by the first straight line between the outer end surface in the first direction and the axis (O1) and the second straight line connecting the outer end surface in the second direction of the second magnetic member and the axis (O1) is set at Within the range greater than 60° and less than 120°.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to tourbillons, movements and timepieces. Background technique [0002] It is known that, in mechanical timepieces, the direction of gravity acting on the balance with hairspring differs according to the change in attitude of the timepiece, thereby causing a speed error (attitude difference). A tourbillon is known as a structure for reducing this difference in attitude. A tourbillon is a part in which a speed-adjusting escapement, which is the main mechanism for determining speed, is mounted on a frame unit, and the frame unit is rotated around a frame axis at a constant cycle. In this way, it is possible to average out the errors in speed due to changes in the posture of the timepiece, and to reduce the difference in posture. [0003] However, when the above-mentioned timepiece equipped with a tourbillon is placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the frame axis in the plane direction, the frame unit will be accelerated or d...
