摘要： The invention concerns a box including a device for retaining in position a timepiece component. The device includes: —a base (2); —a support (3, 4) comprising a first part (3) and a second part (4), the first part being mounted to be mobile relative to the second part; —a first contact element (3a, 3b) intended to come to bear against the timepiece component, the first contact element (3a, 3b) being mounted on the first part, and a second contact element (4a) intended to come to bear against the timepiece component (5), the second contact element (4a) being mounted on the second part (4); and —a control member (1) mounted to pivot on the base (2) about a first axis (1a) on the one hand and pivoting the first part about a second axis (1b) on the other hand.

摘要： Horology component intended to cooperate via a lubricated contact with at least one second horology component within a horology movement, said horology component comprising at least two distinct contact surfaces intended to cooperate with the same second horology component, characterized in that said two contact surfaces are offset with respect to one another, such that a first contact surface is adapted to displace a lubricant present on the second horology component towards a surface with which the second contact surface will subsequently come into contact.

摘要： A horology calendar system (200) including:—a date wheel (1);—a month cam (300); and—a kinematic connection element (8) arranged so that the date wheel allows the driving of the motion of the month cam. Optionally, the kinematic connection element is arranged so as to allow the driving of the month cam by at most 1/n of a step while the date wheel is driven by one step, where n is a natural integer greater than 1.
