A spiral spring for a horological resonator mechanism, including a flexible strip (2) coiled on itself into several turns, the strip (2) having a predefined stiffness. The spring (1) include an element for adjusting its stiffness, including a unique elongate flexible element (5) arranged in series with the strip (2), and connecting one end (4) of said strip (2) to a fixed support (11), to add additional stiffness. The flexible element (5) has a stiffness higher than that of the strip (2). A prestressing element (6) applies two different efforts on the element (5), and includes a first lever (8) attached to the end (4) of the strip (2) to allow adjusting a first effort, and a second lever (8) also attached to the end (4) of the strip (2) to adjust a second effort independently of the first effort.
