    摘要: A method for tuning a gong of a striking watch. The gong is fastened at one end to a gong holder, which can be mounted in a watch case. The gong is struck by a hammer to be vibrated on a support of the measuring instrument to determine by a fast Fourier transform frequency peaks in a band of audible frequencies. A comparison in a first natural mode of a vibration frequency in the plane XY with a vibration frequency outside the plane Z is performed and a ratio calculation r=|f1p−f1h|/f1p, where f1p is the vibration frequency in the plane XY, and f1h is the vibration frequency outside the plane Z. If the ratio r is less than or equal to a desired value of 0.006, the gong is tuned. If it is greater, the method is repeated until the ratio value is achieved.

    摘要: A device for measuring a horological component comprising a measurement cell, at least two optical systems and a driver unit. The measurement cell comprises a measurement channel filled with a liquid and flat and parallel faces. Each optical system comprises a light emitter suitable for emitting a light in a predefined wavelength so as to illuminate a horological component that is present and being displaced in the measurement channel in the measurement zone and an optical sensor associated with said light emitter to receive at least a part of the light emitted by said light emitter. The optical systems operate in different respective wavelengths. The driver unit drives the optical systems and processes the digital data obtained from the optical systems. It is configured to implement calculations of at least one measurement of a horological component.

    摘要: A method and system for creating and storing an identifier for a timepiece having at least one gemstone. The method includes determining one or more characteristics of the at least one gemstone and detecting a relative position of the at least one gemstone in the timepiece. The method further includes creating the identifier for the timepiece in dependence upon at least one of the one or more characteristics of the at least one gemstone and the respective relative position of the at least one gemstone and storing the identifier in a database or device.
