Method and system for washing a timepiece stone

Abstract

The method for producing a timepiece component (1), in particular a pivot stone (1), having a hole (5), involves: abrasively machining the hole (5) using abrasive particles (21) that are free relative to a machining support (20), in particular diamond particles, which roll between the surface (6) of the hole to be machined and the machining support (20) accommodated in the hole, and/or using abrasive particles that can detach from the machining support, followed by washing the timepiece component (1) and the machining support (20) while the machining support is accommodated in the hole, and then removing the machining support from the hole.
