Abstract:
A one-piece balance spring includes a single strip wound on itself between an inner coil and an outer coil. The strip has a geometry such that when the angle of contraction of the balance spring has a value of 360 degrees, there is a constant distance between each coil from the second coil to the penultimate coil.
