Abstract
A regulating member () for a horological movement including an oscillating weight, for example a balance, and a balance spring including a flexible strip () wound about itself in a plurality of turns, the strip () having a predefined rigidity to allow the oscillating weight to undergo a rotary oscillatory motion, the strip () including an outer end (), wherein the regulating member () includes a temperature-compensating resilient device configured to adapt the stiffness thereof as a function of the temperature to compensate for the effect of temperature on the regulating member (), the resilient device including a resilient element () connecting the outer end () to a first support () that is stationary relative to the horological movement, as well as preloading means () for applying a variable force or torque to the resilient element () as a function of the temperature.
