Abstract:
A component made of micromachinable material for a high quality factor resonator or escapement mechanism, with a core made of micromachinable material and/or coated with an oxide layer, and including, on this core or on this oxide layer an abrasion resistant layer including a contact surface cooperating with an opposing contact surface an which is a hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer of the alkylsilane and/or fluorinated or perfluorinated or polyperfluorinated type, with a low or zero sulphur content, and arranged to repel any wetting agent from the area of contact between the contact surface and the opposing contact surface.
