    Abstract: Timepiece sub-assembly including a balance spring stud arranged to be fastened to a balance cock, and a balance spring comprising an outer coil and an end plate of larger section than that of the outer coil, this stud including a housing arranged, in a first free state of the sub-assembly, to loosely contain the end plate with tangential mobility with respect to the outer coil, and, in a second immobilized state of the sub-assembly, to immobilize the end plate to which the housing is joined by a layer of adhesive covering a change-of-section shoulder and which forms a mechanical seal for the balance spring in a longitudinal direction of the housing, and the end plate includes an eye communicating with the layer in the second immobilized state.

    Abstract: A balance spring with two pairs each formed of adjacent coils respectively including a stopping device and a complementary stopping device defining together, for each pair, a respective, relative, maximum angular travel of the coils during the local coupling thereof. The stopping device and the complementary stopping device define different maximum angular travel values, to gradually limit the amplitude of pivoting between the ends of the balance spring during accelerations greater than desired values, one of the pairs cooperating in abutment before the other, to gradually modify the resulting rigidity of the balance spring by the successive deactivation or reactivation of the coils thereof.

    Abstract: A component intended to be in friction contact with another component, the component being coated with an electrically conductive layer in one piece, at least partially covering every surface of the component, the friction occurring on at least one of these surfaces, called the functional surface, the functional surface being surrounded by a plurality of side surfaces, the component having on its functional surface a texture formed of a succession of troughs coated with the electrically conductive layer, the troughs each extending between two side surfaces such that the electrically conductive layer remains in one piece over the component despite the wear caused by friction on the functional surface. The invention also relates to the method for manufacturing the component by the DRIE (deep reactive ion etching) process, wherein surface defects on the sides machined by the DRIE process are used to form the troughs.

    Abstract: A timepiece assembly including a balance spring stud fixed to a plate, and a balance spring wound into coils between an inner end fixed to a collet and an outer end fixed to the balance spring stud. The balance spring stud and/or the collet includes a braking mechanism cooperating with a first coil during accelerations by contraction or expansion of the balance spring higher than set values, to modify a resulting rigidity of the balance spring when the first coil is locally coupled to the braking mechanism, arranged on a first inner lip and a second outer lip included in the balance spring stud and/or in the collet, which includes a first inner lip and a second outer lip each including the braking mechanism.
