Timepiece movement fitted with an electromagnetic transducer comprising at least one coil and a rotor formed of a central shaft, of two magnetic plates that are mounted on the central shaft and of a plurality of bipolar magnets which are axially polarized and mounted on at least one of the two magnetic plates, said at least one coil penetrating at least partially into a circular space which is defined by the rotor between its two magnetic plates and left free by this rotor. The central shaft comprises a pinion which engages with a wheel of the timepiece movement, this pinion being arranged between the two magnetic plates and said wheel being partially arranged between the two magnetic plates, in an angular sector of the circular space that is left free by the electromagnetic transducer, so as to engage with the pinion. Advantageously, said wheel has a roller that is almost or entirely non-conductive and a non-magnetic staff.
A timepiece movement comprising an electromagnetic transducer formed by a stator and a rotor, the stator comprising at least one coil with a central axis that is parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor, the rotor comprising a central shaft, two magnetic plates that are mounted on the central shaft and at least one magnet that is mounted on one of the two magnetic plates so as to be located between these two magnetic plates, said at least one coil lying in a general plane, located between the two magnetic plates, axially remote from said at least one magnet, the rotor and said at least one coil being configured so that said at least one coil is located at least partially in a circular space which is defined by the rotor between its two magnetic plates from its central shaft to its periphery and which is left free by this rotor, said central shaft comprising a pinion which engages with a wheel of the timepiece movement;
