Abstract
An assembly for holding a balance spring includes a stud including a surface for orienting a balance spring, and a stud-holder. The stud-holder includes a first housing for receiving the balance spring stud, a mechanism to secure the stud including a screw orthogonal to the stud, and a mechanism to secure the stud-holder to an escapement mechanism. The screw partially passes through the stud to hold the stud in an indexed position. The stud includes a second housing for the contact-free passage of the screw. The stud-holder includes on either side of the first housing an internal thread cooperating with the screw and a third bore for the passage of a head of the screw cooperating in abutment with the orientation surface.
