Abstract
A braking device (), separate and remote from its guide members, having resilient strips () borne by a braking mobile component () trapped between a structure () and a bolt () and movable perpendicularly to the axis of a horological mobile component arbor (), on which the strips bear, and either all of the bearing forces on the arbor () of the strips () are exerted within a single angular sector having a centre angle (a) of less than 180°, or, opposite a first straight or convex strip () tangentially braking this arbor (), a second strip () allows for relative mobility between the braking mobile component () and this arbor () in a direction of mobility (DM), the latter being: either parallel to the first resilient strip (), or wavy and deformable perpendicularly to the direction of mobility (DM).
