    Abstract: Method for creating a flexible, multistable element (5): a silicon component (S) is etched with a beam (P) connecting two ends (E1, E2) of a rigid mass (MU) having a cross-section more than ten times that of said beam (P), SiO2 is grown at 1100° C. for a duration adjusted to obtain, on said beam (P), a first ratio (RA) of more than 1 between the section of a first peripheral layer (CP1) of SiO2, and that of a first silicon core (A1), and, on said mass (MU), a second ratio (RB) between the section of a second peripheral layer (CP2) of SiO2 and that of a second silicon core (A2), which is less than a hundredth of said first ratio (RA); cooling to ambient temperature is performed, to deform said beam (P) by buckling when said mass (MU) cools and contracts more than said beam (P).

    Abstract: A timepiece mechanism cassette including at least one bearing surface for positioning the cassette in a movement, a plate and a bar, at least one of which is rigid, and functional components arranged between or on the plate and the bar. At least two of the functional components are movable relative to each other. The plate and bar form an inseparable single piece component with at least one of the functional components and with at least one elastically deformable connecting element. The plate and bar are movable between a proximate position where they are separated by a minimum distance and a distal position where they are separated by a maximum distance. The plate and bar include a snap fit connection for holding them in the proximate position.
