A timepiece and method for mounting a generator in the timepiece, this generator being formed of a rotor with permanent magnets and two coils. A supporting structure is preassembled with the rotor and an electronic module including the two coils is preformed. The method includes the following successive steps for laterally mounting the electronic module in the supporting structure so as to form the generator; assembly of an electronic module support with the supporting structure to form an articulation; rotation of the electronic module thanks to the articulation to bring the two coils closer to the axis of rotation of the rotor, so that these two coils are finally each located in a functional position at the same distance from the axis of rotation of the rotor; fastening of the electronic module to block the articulation after said rotation and thus maintain this electronic module in a functional angular position.
A timepiece comprising a supporting structure and a generator formed of a rotor, provided with at least one magnet and mounted to pivot in the supporting structure, and of a stator composed of two coils and forming, with an electronic circuit, an electronic module which is arranged so as to be able to be mounted in the supporting structure after mounting the supporting structure with the rotor pivoted therein;
A method for mounting a generator in a timepiece, said generator being formed of a rotor provided with at least one permanent magnet and two coils;
