Abstract
The invention relates to a clock movement including a frame (6) having a barrel (1) that contains a mainspring, a finishing gear train (2-4), an escapement mechanism (5, 7), and a spiral balance spring (8). The frame (6) comprises first clamp bodies (25, 24) for receiving respective pivotal movement members of the escapement wheel (5) and of the anchor (7), and second homologous clamp bodies (22, 26) alternating with the first clamp bodies (25, 24), the first and second clamp bodies (25, 22) of the escapement wheel being located on a circle centered on the axis of the mean wheel (3) of the finishing gear train and defining a plane that is orthogonal to said axis.
Claims20
A clockwork movement comprising:
- a frame supporting a barrel containing a mainspring, a finishing gear train including a seconds wheel, an escapement mechanism including an escapement wheel, and a spiral-balance,
- wherein the frame comprises:
- first seats for receiving respective pivoting members of the seconds wheel at the center, and of the escapement wheel, and
- second seats which are equivalents and alternatives of the first seats with seconds wheel off-centered,
- wherein the respective first seats for receiving the respective pivoting members of the seconds wheel and of the escapement wheel are different from the respective second seats for receiving the respective pivoting members of the seconds wheel and of the escapement wheel, the pivoting members of the seconds wheel and of the escapement wheel being received in either (i) the first seats for receiving the respective pivoting members of the seconds wheel and of the escapement wheel or (ii) the second seats for receiving the respective pivoting members of the seconds wheel and of the escapement wheel.
