A balance set for a timepiece, with inertia adjustment for adjusting inertia and/or balancing and/or oscillation frequency of the balance, with a balance including an insert inserted into a recess of a felloe connected to a hub by a joining surface. The balance includes on the felloe thereof an elastic holding mechanism including two antagonistic elastic lips which, when stressed, allow insertion of the insert into the recess and which, when released, prevent removal of the insert from the recess. A sprung balance or a timepiece can incorporate such a balance.
A method of making a balance set for a timepiece, with inertia adjustment for adjusting inertia and/or balancing and/or oscillation frequency of the balance, including a balance including a hub configured to cooperate with a balance axis perpendicular to a balance plane, and a peripheral, continuous or discontinuous felloe, connected to said hub by at least one joining surface, said balance set including at least one insert, said balance further including, at a periphery of said felloe, at least one recess for receiving said at least one insert, said insert including a complementary guide means whose profile is complementary to a guide means included in said recess, said method comprising:
A balance set for a timepiece, with inertia adjustment for adjusting inertia and/or balancing and/or oscillation frequency of the balance, comprising:
