Abstract

Il comporte, fixés de façon irréversible sur une platine (10) et chacun pré-réglé de façon irréversible par la fixation irréversible de composants de réglage ou/et d'assemblage, après un réglage et un contrôle fonctionnel de sa fonction horlogère particulière réalisés au banc d'essai, des modules fonctionnels : un module de rouage (13), un module d'affichage (14), et un module de mise à l'heure (15).It includes, irreversibly fixed on a plate (10) and each irreversibly pre-adjusted by the irreversible fixing of adjustment components and / or assembly, after an adjustment and a functional control of its particular clock function made at test bench, functional modules: a gear module (13), a display module (14), and a time setting module (15).

Autres sous-ensemble mécaniques comportant, chacun fixé de façon irréversible sur le sous-ensemble mécanique précédent d'ordre inférieur, différents modules :
- module moteur (11)
- module bâti garni monté dispositif automatique (20)
- module de régulation (16) porte-échappement
- rouage de minuterie
- module de quantième (30)
- module de remontage automatique (18).Other mechanical subassemblies comprising, each irreversibly fixed on the lower-order mechanical subassembly, different modules:
- motor module (11)
- built-in frame module mounted automatic device (20)
- exhaust control module (16)
- clockwork
- date module (30)
- automatic winding module (18).

Mouvement mécanique (100) comportant au moins un tel sous-ensemble mécanique.Mechanical movement (100) comprising at least one such mechanical subset.

Montre (1000) comportant un tel mouvement mécanique (100).Watch (1000) having such a mechanical movement (100).

Méthode d'assemblage de tels sous-ensemble mécaniques par fixation irréversible des sous-ensemble mécaniques et modules pré-réglés de façon irréversible.
