    摘要: The method for manufacturing a timepiece component includes: providing (E1) a substrate having an upper surface (21); applying (E2) an anti-glare treatment to all or part of the upper surface (21) of the substrate (20); depositing (E31) a layer of photoresist (40) on the upper surface of the substrate (20); exposing (E32) the photoresist (40) to exposure radiation (45) according to a predetermined pattern; and developing (E33) the photoresist (40), so as to form a mould delimited at least partially by the photoresist (40) and by a portion of the at least one upper surface (21) of the substrate (20).

    摘要: Dial (20) for a timepiece (300)



    including a dial plate (21), at least one dial foot (22) extending along a foot axis (A1) and having a shaping (231), notably a notch (23), oriented toward the dial plate and intended to receive a mechanical action that presses the plate against a clockwork movement (10), particularly against a frame (11) of a clockwork movement (10),
    and a first zone (40) of lower rigidity configured or arranged to deform elastically and/or plastically, in a direction mainly parallel to the axis (A1) of the foot, as the mechanical action is applied to the shaping (231), a portion of the first zone being provided with a lower material profile so as to constitute a portion of the dial that is able to be mainly deformed or experience most of the deformation, and a flexible blade of the first zone extending substantially perpendicular to the axis (A1) of the foot and set into the rest of the foot at one of its ends.

    摘要: Horological component (100) having a first opening (1) intended to receive a member (20) driven into the first opening, the component having an axis (A1; 1A1) centered in the first opening and at least two structures (10; 110) intended to receive the member, each comprising a receiving element (4b; 14b) intended to come into contact with the member and extending at least substantially orthoradially relative to the axis (A1; 1A1), a first connecting element (4c; 14c) extending at least substantially radially relative to the axis (A1; 1A1) from a first end of the receiving element, a second connecting element (4d; 14d) extending at least substantially radially relative to the axis (A1; 1A1) from a second end of the receiving element, a first elastically deformable element (4a; 14a) extending at least substantially orthoradially relative to the axis (A1; 1A1), and a second elastically deformable element (4a′; 14a′) extending at least substantially orthoradially relative to the axis (A1; 1A1), the first connecting element mechanically connecting the first end of the receiving element to the first elastically deformable element and the second connecting element mechanically connecting the second end of the receiving element to the second elastically deformable element.

    摘要: An arrangement includes two components (3, 4; 3′, 4′) of a timepiece component and an axis of rotation (A1; A1′), the two components (3, 4; 3′, 4′) being linked to one another by an elastic articulated link (100; 100′) about the axis of rotation (A1; A1′), the arrangement also includes an elastic element (10, 10′; 10″) such that the relative movement of the two components (3, 4; 3′, 4′) takes place against the elastic element (10, 10′; 10″), wherein the elastic element (10, 10′; 10″) includes at least two superposed springs (10a, 10b, 10a′, 10b′; 10a″, 10b″), each of these at least two springs (10a, 10b, 10a′, 10b′; 10a″, 10b″) taking the form of a distinct element.

    摘要: The movement transmission system (90), notably for a timepiece calendar system (200), includes a driving mobile (4) pivoted about a first axis (A4) and has a driving toothset (42) distributed over a curved profile (43); a driven mobile (7) pivoted about a second axis (A7) and having a driven toothset (72); an intermediate pinion (8) pivoted about a third axis (A8) and having a toothset (81) driven by the driving toothset (42) and driving the driven toothset (72); the toothset (42), the curved profile (43), the driven toothset (72) and the toothset (81) being arranged at a same level or in a same plane, and the driving mobile (4), the driven mobile (7) and the intermediate pinion (8) being arranged so that the driving mobile (4) moves the driven mobile (7) via the intermediate pinion (8) through 1/m steps for at least some steps of the driving mobile (4), m being a real number greater than 1, and so that the driving mobile (4) can define an angular position, with minimum play, of the driven mobile (7) via the pinion (8), whereas the driving mobile (4) is in a given angular position.
