FIELD: horology.
SUBSTANCE: area of application: invention relates to a rotating resonator mechanism (60), in particular, for application in horology. Substance: rotating resonator mechanism comprises a flexible guide (5) and an oscillating mass (2), wherein the flexible guide (5) comprises two primary flexible tapes (4, 6) and a rigid section (7), while the primary flexible tapes (4, 6) are connected with the rigid section (7) of the flexible guide (5) on one side and with the oscillating mass (2) on the other side; wherein the resonator mechanism (60) comprises means of adjusting the rigidity of the resonator mechanism (60), while the adjustment means comprise a flexible element connected with the rigid section (7) of the flexible guide (5) on one side and with the fixed support (11) on the other side, so that the flexible guide (5) is suspended by means of the flexible element (12); wherein the flexible guide (5) and the flexible element (12) continue in substantially the same plane, thereby allowing the oscillating mass (2) to rotate around a virtual axis, while the adjustment means additionally comprise means (15) of creating a pre-voltage in order to exert alternating force or torque on the flexible element (12) or the flexible guide (5) so as to change the rigidity of the flexible element (12). Invention also relates to a clock mechanism containing the resonator mechanism (1).
EFFECT: higher stroke control accuracy due to the precise adjustment of the frequency of the master generator of the clock.
