Abstract

Le procédé de réalisation d'au moins deux mouvements horlogers fonctionnant à des fréquences d'osculation différentes comprend la conception d'une base commune aux mouvements, la base commune comprenant un rouage servant à relier un barillet à un échappement dans chaque mouvement, et la sélection, pour chacun desdits mouvements, d'un ensemble organe réglant - échappement comprenant un organe réglant ayant une fréquence d'oscillation f et un échappement (11-14) pour entretenir les oscillations de l'organe réglant, l'échappement comprenant une roue d'échappement (11,13) à N dents, la fréquence d'oscillation f et le nombre de dents N étant différents d'un mouvement à l'autre et le rapport entre N et f étant sensiblement le même d'un mouvement à l'autre.

The method for producing at least two watch movements operating at different oscillation frequencies comprises the design of a base common to the movements, the common base comprising a gear train for connecting a cylinder to an escapement in each movement, and the selecting, for each of said movements, a regulating-escaping organ assembly comprising a regulating member having an oscillation frequency f and an escapement (11-14) for maintaining the oscillations of the regulating member, the escapement comprising a wheel N-shaped exhaust system (11, 13), the oscillation frequency f and the number of teeth N being different from one movement to the other and the ratio between N and f being substantially the same as a movement at the other.
