- Each recess 330 may be shaped substantially as a circular arc centered on the central axis Z0, and each movement limiting arm may be shaped substantially as a circular arc centered on the central axis, or more advantageously as a portion of a corresponding spiral. with the kinematics of the rigid portions 320 of the regulating member 318.
- one of the branches 315b of the support 315 comprises a recess 315d which accommodates the energy distribution member 10 and the anchor 11, and each of the other two branches 315c comprises two recesses 330 opening out to the 'opposite one another and respectively receiving two movement limiting arms 329 extending towards each other, belonging to one of the rigid portions 320.
- One of the rigid portions 320 may be devoid of arms limitation of movement 329 but be coupled to the anchor 11 as will be explained below.
- one of the two movement limitation arms 329 of each rigid portion 320 may be integral with a support arm 329a extending radially inward from the portion 324 in the arc of a circle of this portion. rigid 320, in the vicinity of the first end 325 of said part 324 in the form of an arc of a circle.
- the other movement limitation arm 329 of the same rigid portion 320 may be integral with the aforementioned rigid arm 327.
- the anchor 11 is a rigid part which may include a rigid body 331 adjacent to the part 324 in the arc of a circle of one of the rigid portions 320 of the regulating member (that which is devoid of movement limiting arm 329 in the example considered).
- the anchor 11 may further include a rigid drive arm 332 which is integral with the rigid body 331.
- the anchor 11 is elastically connected to the support 315, so as to be able to oscillate, for example according to a movement substantially in rotation about an axis Z2 perpendicular to the XY plane.
- the oscillations of the anchor 11 are controlled by the regulating member 318.
- the rigid arm 327 of the rigid portion 320 adjacent to the anchor 11 can be extended inwards by an additional rigid arm 333, the free end of which is connected to the free end of the rigid drive arm. 332 by a resilient drive branch 334 (possibly provided with a rigid central section 334a).
- the anchor 11 can be connected to the support 315 by an elastic suspension, comprising for example two elastic anchor suspension branches 335 converging substantially towards the axis Z2.
- the anchor 11 comprises two stop members 336, 337 in the form of lugs projecting substantially towards the axis Z1, which are adapted to cooperate with the energy distribution member 10.
- the anchor 11 is thus controlled by said regulating member 318 to regularly and alternately block and release the energy distribution member 10 by means of the stop members 336, 337, so that said distribution member energy 10 moves step by step in the direction 16 under the stress of the energy storage device 8 in a repetitive cycle of movement, and said anchor 11 is further adapted to transfer mechanical energy to the regulating member 18 during this repetitive movement cycle, in a manner known per se.
- the anchor 11 may further include a monostable elastic member 341, which may be in the in the form of an elastic tongue whose free end bears on the teeth 17 of the energy distribution member 10.
- the monostable elastic member 341 can be connected to the rigid body 331 of the anchor 11, for example by an elastic suspension comprising two substantially parallel elastic branches 339 extending to a rigid support 340 which carries the monostable elastic member 341.
- the monostable elastic member 341 serves for the energy distribution member 10 to transfer a mechanical energy precisely determined at the regulating member 318, at each operating cycle of the watch movement 3, as explained in the document WO2016091951 .
