Resonator with reduced sensitivity to climatic variations

A compensating balance spring for a thermally compensated sprung balance resonator, comprising:

• a core formed from at least one non-metallic material including quartz;
• and
• an electrically conductive and moisture-proof layer, including titanium and entirely coating the core, wherein
• the electrically conductive and moisture-proof layer is at least partially formed on an oxidized coating that is interposed between the core and the layer, so that the electrically conductive and moisture-proof layer protects the oxidized coating from being exposed, and
• the electrically conductive and moisture-proof layer includes a thickness that is configured to render the compensating balance spring mechanically less sensitive to variations in temperature and moisture when the layer collects condensation of moisture thereon.
