    摘要: A balance spring (1) of a sprung balance assembly of a mechanical horological movement, formed by a succession of coils (S1, . . . , Sn) which extend between a first free end, referred to as inner first coil (2), and a second free end, referred to as outer last coil (6). The are arranged off-centre when the balance spring is in the free state, the outer last coil (6) terminating in a stop means for the attachment thereof to a stud (14). The balance spring (1) is centred and its spires concentric when the spring (1) is in the mounted state inside the sprung balance assembly, the coils being rearranged concentrically when the spring is in the mounted state. The attachment of the spring to the stud inducing, in the coils, a resilient stress as a result whereof the stop is attached in a captive manner to the stud (14).

    摘要: A twisted arbour barrel (1), including a barrel drum (2) provided with a housing, a spring arranged in the housing of the barrel drum (2), an arbour (4) at least partially passing through the housing, the spring being compressed by rotation of the arbour in a first direction of rotation (12), the arbour (4) being provided with a protruding end (9) of the drum (2), a ratchet (3) arranged on the drum (2), the ratchet (3) being configured to allow the rotation of the arbour (4) in the first direction of rotation (12), the protruding end (9) passing through the ratchet (3) through an opening (14) cooperating by interlocking with the protruding end (9), the protruding end (9) of the arbour (4) having a twisted shape around its axis.
