A counter-escape wheel rotating opposite the main gear balances inertia, preventing stoppages caused by angular accelerations during wear.
A ceramic-metal bimetal balance wheel achieves temperature compensation through radial bending driven by differential thermal expansion.
An escapement mechanism moves impulse and lock components across angled planes to coordinate with the escapement wheel.
A multi-layer nickel-phosphorus watch mobile stabilizes amplitude through controlled deposition.
Composite horological pallets integrate dense masses to increase inertia within compact radial dimensions.
A watch movement upgrade method mounts a high-frequency oscillator and reduction gear on a base plate to enhance efficiency.
Separates crossed blades in a one-piece component using a disc milling cutter through a through-opening to resolve manufacturing complexity.
Replacing precision adhesive bonding with an interference fit mechanism, the design allows easy positioning and fixing of the pallet body to the shaft member.
A magnetic escapement transmits energy to a tourbillon carriage without mechanical linkage.
A bistable elastic member in a watch escapement deforms beyond its unstable maximum winding state to ensure immediate energy release upon triggering.
