A natural escapement for a horological movement performing operating cycles each including a first and a second alternation of a balance (12) which comprises a balance wheel (14) on an axis (16) of which is adjusted a balance plate (18). The escapement (1) includes a first escapement wheel (8) driven by a second mobile (2), and driving a second escapement wheel (10) arranged in the same plane as the first escapement wheel (8). The escapement wheels form a kinematic chain after which is disposed an anchor (26) pivotable around an anchor rod (28) located outside an angle (α) less than 180° and delimited by two straight lines passing through axis (16) of balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis of the first escapement wheel (8), and through the axis (16) of the balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis of the second escapement wheel for the other.
A natural escapement (1) for a horological movement performing a succession of operating cycles each composed of a first and a second alternation of a balance (12) which comprises a balance wheel (14) on an axis (16) of which is adjusted a balance plate (18), this natural escapement (1) comprising a first escapement wheel (8) arranged to be driven by a second mobile (2), this first escapement wheel (8) in turn driving a second escapement wheel (10) arranged in the same plane as the first escapement wheel (8), the first and second escapement wheels (8, 10) forming a kinematic chain after which is disposed an anchor (26) capable of pivoting around an anchor rod (28) located outside an angle (α) less than 180° and delimited by two straight lines which pass through the axis (16) of the balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis (6) of the first escapement wheel (8) for one, and through the axis (16) of the balance wheel (14) and through a pivot axis (11) of the second escapement wheel (10) for the other.
