Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1126333A1] In a mechanical time piece according to the invention, a movement 400 includes a barrel complete 120, a center wheel & pinion 124, a third wheel & pinion 126, a fourth wheel & pinion 128, a balance with hairspring 140, an escape wheel & pinion 130 and a pallet fork 142. The mechanical time piece of the invention is provided with a rotational angle control mechanism constituted such that in a state in which a mainspring is completely wound up, air resistance is applied to rotation of the balance with hairspring 140 and in a state in which the mainspring is completely rewound, the air resistance is not applied to the rotation of the balance with hairspring 140. The balance rotational control mechanism includes a resist lever 436, 496 arranged to an outer peripheral portion of the balance with hairspring 140 to provide a clearance therebetween. Further, the balance rotational angle control mechanism is characterized in including a planetary gear mechanism 410 related to a barrel complete gear 120a and a ratchet wheel 116. <IMAGE>
