  • the invention also relates to a rotating clock watch comprising such a shaft.
  • the invention also relates to a clockwork mechanism comprising such a shaft and / or such a mobile, including an escape mechanism.

  • the invention relates to the field of watch mechanisms, in particular the field of regulating members, in particular for mechanical watches.
  • the regulating organ of a mechanical watch is constituted by a harmonic oscillator, the sprung balance, whose oscillation natural frequency depends mainly on the inertia of the balance and the elastic rigidity of the spiral.
  • the oscillations of the sprung balance, otherwise damped, are maintained by the pulses provided by an escapement generally composed of one or two pivoting mobiles.
  • these pivoting mobiles are the anchor and the escape wheel.
  • the movement of the watch is determined by the frequency of the sprung balance and by the disturbance generated by the impulse of the escapement, which generally slows the natural oscillation of the sprung balance and therefore causes a delay in running.
  • gait defects related to the residual effect of the field
  • the origin of these defects is the permanent magnetization of the fixed ferromagnetic components of the movement or the cladding and the permanent or transient magnetization of the moving magnetic components forming part of the regulating organ (sprung balance) and / or the exhaust .
  • magnetically or magnetically permeable mobile components (balance, hairspring, exhaust) are subjected to magnetostatic torque and / or magnetostatic forces.

  • the interaction of the watch movement with the external field, during the exhibition, can also lead to the stop of the movement.
  • the arrest in the field and the residual run-out are not correlated, because the arrest in field depends on the transient magnetization, sub-field, of the components (and therefore of the permeability and the saturation field). components), while the residual run fault depends on the residual magnetization (and therefore, mainly, the coercive field of the components) which can be low even in the presence of a significant magnetic permeability.
  • the anchor body and the escape wheel can be made of very low paramagnetic materials, without their mechanical performance being affected.
  • the shafts of the mobiles require very good mechanical performances (good tribology, low fatigue) to allow an optimal and constant pivoting in the time, and it is therefore preferable to manufacture them in hardened steel (typically carbon steel type 20AP or the like).
