MAGNETIC AND/OR ELECTROSTATIC HINGE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G04B1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: two magnetic/electrostatic fields are induced from both ends of said element, each attracting it to pole piece. Said fields feature unbalanced intensity nearby said element. This develops the difference of forces to make one element end be pressed against contact surface of one pole piece while opposite end is kept spaced from the other pole piece. Besides, invention discloses the correcting device including two pole pieces with support surfaces. Each is attracted by magnetic/electrostatic field transmitted by one of the element ends, or induces magnetic/electrostatic field attracting one of the elements ends. Magnetic/electrostatic fields acting at the element both ends feature different intensity. This makes only one element end be attracted to get in contact with one of the surfaces of pole pieces.

EFFECT: stable operation of the watch at whatever position.
