    摘要: Provided are a timepiece having a temperature compensator drivable by a low voltage with low current consumption, and a control method of a timepiece. The timepiece includes an arithmetic circuit, a first switch that controls connection of a temperature compensation table storage to a power supply circuit, and a second switch that controls connection of a device-difference compensation data storage to the power supply circuit. The arithmetic circuit calculates a compensation amount based on a temperature measured by a temperature detector, a temperature compensation data, a device-difference compensation data, and outputs to a frequency adjustment control circuit and a theoretical regulation circuit. The first switch is controlled to the connect state during a first power supply connection period including a temperature compensation data read period. The second switch is controlled to the connect state during a second power supply connection period including a device-difference compensation data read period.

    摘要: Method for fabrication of an antiferromagnetic and temperature compensated timepiece balance spring, including the steps of: selecting an amagnetic iron-chromium-nickel-manganese-beryllium compensating alloy, comprising, by mass percent, between and including: from 21.0% to 25.0% of manganese, from 9.0% to 13.0% of nickel, from 6.0% to 15.0% of chromium, from 0.2% to 2.0% of beryllium, the remainder iron, the total of nickel and manganese being higher than or equal to 33.0%, working the alloy to obtain a blank, shaping the blank by casting and/or forging and/or wire drawing and/or rolling and/or drawing, to obtain a blank of spring wire; winding the wire on a winder to obtain a balance spring, subjecting the spiral spring to at least a heat setting treatment, by annealing at a temperature comprised between 540° C. and 650° C., for a duration of 30 to 200 minutes, to obtain a balance spring.

    摘要: A mechanical oscillator endowed with a strip, with the aforesaid strip incorporating a first silicon layer having a crystal lattice extending along a first direction of one plane, a thermal compensation layer composed of a material having a Young's modulus thermal coefficient of opposite sign to that of the silicon, and a second silicon layer having a crystal lattice extending in a second direction of the plane, with the first and direction being offset at an angle of 45° within the plane of the layers, and with the thermal compensation layer extending between the first and second silicon layers.

    摘要: A balance wheel having a thermally adjustable moment of inertia is described. In one aspect, the balance wheel includes radially movable compensation portions formed of shape memory material exhibiting a two-way memory effect. The radius of gyration of the balance wheel is therefore adjustable with temperature to compensate for thermoelastic effects in a balance spring attached to the balance wheel. In another aspect, a thermally stable balance wheel includes dynamically adjusting appendages whose expansion or contraction with temperature relative to the balance wheel cause change in its moment of inertia. The invention can compensate for both ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ thermoelastic spring behaviour.
