Abstract

See full text

A timepiece movement includes a plate and a bridge carrying a barrel, which includes a barrel mainspring between a drum and a receiving surface of a steel or stainless steel core and a cover fixed to the drum. The spring is made of a multiphase, cobalt-nickel-chromium based alloy, having a Young's modulus of between 200 and 240 GPa and a shear modulus of between 80 and 100 GPa, and having a width to thickness ratio of between 3 and 23, and a maximum radius of the steel or stainless steel core relative to a pivot axis is less than nine times a maximum thickness of the spring. The movement includes a shake limiting mechanism including a shim-washer independent of the core and guided by a shoulder of the core.
