    摘要: A natural escapement for horological movement carrying out a succession of operating cycles each including a first and second alternation of a balance that comprises a balance wheel on an arbor of which is adjusted a balance plate. A first escape wheel set having a first toothing is driven by a wheel set of the train of the horological movement, driving in turn a second escape wheel set having a second toothing. The first and second wheel sets form a kinematic chain arranged to cooperate with an anchor to pivot about an anchor-staff, the balance plate carrying a second impulse pallet-stone through which the balance plate receives a direct and tangential driving impulse from the first escape wheel set during the first alternation, and a first impulse pallet-stone through which this balance plate receives a direct and tangential driving impulse from the second escape wheel set during the second alternation.

    摘要: A sympatique watch (30), including a horological movement to which are connected a watch hour (31) and minute display (32), including a barrel (33), a resonator (34), a time-setting mechanism, a coupling mechanism (38) to separate a display train (35) and a finishing train (36), a stop mechanism (37) of a resonator (34), and a reset mechanism to move each hour (31) and minute display (32) in a predetermined reference position. The watch includes a first and a second actuator (310, 320) cooperating with a first and a second actuator (210, 220) of the clock (20). The first actuator can occupy three successive distinct positions to act on the coupling mechanism (38), the stop mechanism (37) and the reset mechanism. The second actuator can occupy two end positions alternately to act on the time-setting mechanism, only when the first actuator (310) occupies one of its successive distinct positions.

    摘要: A natural escapement for a horological movement performing operating cycles each including a first and a second alternation of a balance (12) which comprises a balance wheel (14) on an axis (16) of which is adjusted a balance plate (18). The escapement (1) includes a first escapement wheel (8) driven by a second mobile (2), and driving a second escapement wheel (10) arranged in the same plane as the first escapement wheel (8). The escapement wheels form a kinematic chain after which is disposed an anchor (26) pivotable around an anchor rod (28) located outside an angle (α) less than 180° and delimited by two straight lines passing through axis (16) of balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis of the first escapement wheel (8), and through the axis (16) of the balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis of the second escapement wheel for the other.
