Abstract

The oscillator has a balance and a hairspring that is made of quartz substrate whose cut is determined in order to compensate thermal drifts of the hairspring, where the thickness of spring coils is modulated. The modulation of the thickness is linearly varied from the center of the hairspring to a balance-spring stud. The cut of the substrate is a cut with single or double rotation.
