Abstract:
A temperature compensation-type balance includes a balance staff, and a balance wheel that has a plurality of bimetal portions which are disposed in parallel to each other in a circumferential direction around a rotational axle O of the balance staff and connection members which connect the plurality of bimetal portions and the balance staff. The bimetal portion is a layered body in which a first member and a second member are radially overlapped, and one end portion in the circumferential direction is a fixed end connected to the connection member and the other end portion in the circumferential direction is a free end. The first member is formed of a ceramic material, and the second member is formed of a metal material having a thermal expansion coefficient different from that of the first member.
