Abstract:
A timepiece movement with a regulating member which is a tourbillon or carousel, also known as a karussel, and including a drive mechanism, with a pivoting arm subjected to the restoring torque of a first energy source and carrying a mechanism comprising a wheel, a second energy source that subjects to a restoring torque a third wheel set on which the wheel rolls, under the action of the first energy source, the structure carries stop means cooperating with complementary stop means of the third wheel set to hold the latter in position, which are uncouple-able under the action of uncoupling control means of the arm at the end of the forward angular travel of the arm to allow the third wheel set to pivot in a single direction under the action of the second energy source, causing a backward rotation of the arm to the start of its angular travel.
