Abstract
A rigid horological component () for an oscillator mechanism or for an escapement mechanism of a horological movement, the component extending along a principal plane (P) and including at least a part made of a composite material (), the composite material () including a matrix () and a multitude of nanotubes or nanowires () distributed in the matrix (), the nanotubes or nanowires () being juxtaposed and disposed substantially parallel with an axis (A) substantially perpendicular to the plane (P) of the component, the matrix () includes a rigid material () to fill the interstices and join the nanotubes or nanowires () to one another, the material () having rigid mechanical properties to block the elastic deformation of the component, the rigid material () comprised in the component having a Young's modulus greater than 2 GPa.
