Title:
TIMEPIECE SYNCHRONIZATION MECHANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/096974
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mechanism (1) for synchronizing the rotational speed of a wheel train (2) subjected to a torque in a timepiece movement (10). Said mechanism (1) comprises an annular resonator (6) comprising a ring (7) placed around an axis (A). Said ring (7) is capable of periodically changing shape, which is induced by moving a driver (8) which is part of said mechanism (1). Said driver (8) is directly or indirectly driven by said torque.
