A method is disclosed for manufacturing a hairspring (1) for a timepiece movement, the method comprising the following steps: producing a malleable elongated element in the form of a fibre or ribbon from a first heated material capable of guiding light, shaping the malleable elongated element into a spiral, and processing the thus obtained spiral element in order to produce a hairspring providing both a mechanical oscillator function in a hairspring-balance wheel assembly and an optical guidance function. The shaping step comprises a step in which the malleable elongated element is wound around a rotary shaping tool. A system (12) is disclosed for manufacturing a hairspring (1) for a timepiece according to the method disclosed, and comprises: a fibre-drawing tower (120) for producing a glass fibre (121), a device for drawing the fibre (121) from the fibre-drawing tower (120), a shaping tool (122) rotatable about a vertical axis and having a spiral, truncated cone shape for receiving the drawn fibre, which is wound around said shaping tool.

A balance spring comprising a flat spiral coil and a non-elastic inner attachment part formed by laser beam cutting. The spring has an outer attachment plate in the plane of the coil formed with a channel which receives and protects the outer winding of the coil. The outer attachment plate has a curved attachment edge which allows the location of the oscillator dead point to be varied without affecting spring frequency.

An escapement lever for a timepiece comprises a lever body including at one end a pair of divergent arms each carrying a pallet or pallet pin. The body is mounted on an arbor for oscillation with the pallets or pins cooperative with a toothed escapement wheel. The pallets or the pallet pins are coated with hard metal to increase wear, reduce fruction and to facilitate lubrication.
