Receptacle for horological assembly

A receptacle for receiving a horological assembly and handling the horological assembly on a setting machine, characterised in that the receptacle is a support which includes:

• a bearing surface that is planar and configured to receive the horological assembly;
• a spring mechanism configured to receive the horological assembly, the spring mechanism below the bearing surface;
• locking wedges above the bearing surface in a first direction;
• and
• angular orientation means configured for an angular orientation in abutment pressure of an edge of the horological assembly on the support, the angular orientation means being between the bearing surface and the locking wedges in the first direction,
• wherein the angular orientation means include a pin housing and a pin guided in the pin housing, the pin configured to define an abutment pressure position wherein the spring mechanism ensures a hold of the horological assembly, in combination with the locking wedges, wherein a bottom surface of the locking wedges bears on the horological assembly, and
• wherein a longitudinal direction of each of the pin and the pin housing is in a horizontal direction that crosses the first direction.
