Abstract: The timepiece movement includes a balance-and-hairspring oscillator and an escapement cooperating with the oscillator. The outer turn of the hairspring includes a stiffened portion (9″) arranged to at least partially compensate for the variation in the rate of the movement in dependence upon the oscillation amplitude of the balance caused by the escapement. The hairspring further includes at least one of the following features: a) a distance (R′) between the inner end of the hairspring and the centre of rotation of the hairspring lower than 400 μm, b) a Grossmann curve (10) defined by the inner turn of the hairspring, c) a stiffened portion defined by the inner turn of the hairspring.

Abstract: A method for producing a timepiece spring includes the following steps: producing a piece based on silicon, having the desired shape of the timepiece spring; thermally oxidising the piece; deoxidising the piece; annealing the piece in a reducing atmosphere; forming a silicon oxide layer on the piece.

Abstract: In an oscillator for a timepiece including a balance and a hairspring, the balance lacks equilibrium, such that: the curves for running of the oscillator owing to weight of the hairspring as a function of the oscillation amplitude of the balance in at least four vertical positions of the oscillator spaced by 90° each pass through 0 at an oscillation amplitude of the balance between 200° and 240°; and between oscillation amplitudes of 150° and 280°, curves representing the running of the oscillator owing to lack of equilibrium in the balance as a function of the oscillation amplitude in the vertical positions each has an average slope of opposite sign to the average slope of the corresponding curve among the curves representing the running of the oscillator owing to the weight of the hairspring. A reduction in the running discrepancies between the vertical positions can thus be achieved.
