The device for pivoting an arbour (11) in a timepiece, includes two pivots (12, 12′; 32) each forming one end of the arbour and two bearings for receiving the two pivots. Each of the pivots includes an approximately cylindrical portion (19, 19′; 39) and a convex rounded portion (13, 13′; 33) that extends the approximately cylindrical portion and gradually decreases in the direction of the end. Each of the bearings includes a pivoting structure (25; 35) held in place elastically, which includes an approximately cylindrical passage traversed by said approximately cylindrical portion (19, 19′; 39) of one of the pivots. The pivoting structure also includes a bearing surface against which the end of said pivot will abut. The pivoting device is characterized in that the pivoting structure of each of the bearings includes an aperture (16, 16′; 36; 46) that has a portion of inverted triangular or trapezoidal profile (16, 16′; 38; 46), and in that the convex rounded portion (13, 13′; 33) of one of the two pivots is for abutting against said inclined inner wall so that the arbour (11) is held axially between the inclined walls of the apertures of the two bearings. |

In this patent we teach a method for manufacturing hairsprings for mechanical watches using nanofabrication and several resultant geometries. This method produces hairsprings, and other watch components, that are more durable, more precise, more isochronous, possess a different appearance, and are easier to install into a watch. For example, we discuss novel geometries of hairspring coils with non-rectangular cross-sections, hairsprings with attached or integrated collets, detachable collets, notched collets, tabs, and small identifying features. Furthermore, we teach how the cross-section of a hairspring may be modified in order to alter the spring's geometric moment thereby improving isochronism. |

The invention provides bearing systems characterized by single point contact with each jewel segment and a spring-loaded assembly with protection from radial and thrust forces. An important feature of jewel bearings of the invention is that they are self-lubricating, i.e., no oil or grease lubricants are needed. This can be a major advantage in medical and precision equipment. A secondary important feature is the reduced friction and effective heat-dissipation due to the unique design of the invention with significant reduction in contact surfaces and friction, which significantly prolong the lifespan of the bearings. Another advantage of the present invention is the substantial reduction in audible noise due to the unique design. Furthermore, the invention allows the use of relatively low cost synthetic jewel segments in bearings. |

The invention relates to a device for pivoting a shaft (11) that comprises two pivots (12, 12'; 32) each defining an end of the shaft and two bearings for receiving the two pivots. Each of the two pivots includes a substantially cylindrical portion (19, 19'; 39) and a convex rounded portion (13, 13'; 33) that forms an extension of the substantially cylindrical portion and decreases in size in the direction of the end. Each bearing includes a pivoting structure (25; 35) elastically held in place and including an essentially cylindrical passage through which extends the substantially cylindrical portion (19, 19'; 39) of one of the pivots. The pivoting structure further includes a bearing surface against which the end of the pivot bears. The bearing surface of each of the bearings is formed by the inclined inner wall of an opening (16, 16'; 36; 46) that comprises a portion with a trapezoidal or inverted-triangle profile (16, 16'; 38; 46), and in that the convex rounded portion (13, 13'; 33) of one of the two pivots is meant to bear against said inclined inner wall so that the shaft (11) is axially maintained between the inclined walls of the openings of the two bearings. |

This invention teaches a new class of materials that can be used to manufacture hairsprings and/or other components of mechanical watches, and methods for manufacturing these components. The new class of materials is crystalline compounds, including, but not limited to, gallium arsenide, extrinsically doped gallium arsenide, extrinsically doped silicon, gallium nitride, extrinsically doped gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, extrinsically doped gallium phosphide, and quartz. This invention also teaches laminated/coated crystalline compounds. The lamination/coating may be applied by one of the following methods, including but not limited to: plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, sputtering, electron beam evaporation, and thermal evaporation. Using crystalline compounds, in particular extrinsically doping the crystalline compounds, affords the possibility to controllably alter the mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and/or other properties of the watch components. These properties can be further altered by applying single or multiple laminates/coatings of varying thicknesses and/or geometries. |
