Definitions
- the invention relates to a coil spring for mechanical movements.
- a mechanical movement has as its central components a barrel with tension spring, gear train, escapement and oscillating system (balance).
- the barrel with tension spring provides the drive of the movement.
- the power is transmitted starting from the barrel via the gear train to the escape wheel, which represents a part of the escapement.
- the gear train drives the hands of the watch and translates the spring force stored in the tension spring into rotational motions of different speeds, indicating seconds, minutes, hours and so on.
- the balance comprises a vibrating body, which is mounted pivotably about an axis of rotation by means of a balance shaft. Furthermore, a spiral spring is provided which, together with the mass of the oscillating body, forms the oscillatory and clocking system. Finally, the balance includes a device for regulating the speed, such as a back, with which the rocker characteristic of the coil spring changed and thus the desired correct gear of the clock can be adjusted.
- the exact course of the clock is based on the most even swinging back and forth of the coil spring to their equilibrium position.
- the armature intervenes alternately inhibiting and releasing in the escape wheel so that the movement always pulsates in the same time. However, without a steady supply of energy, the balance would stop moving.
- the force coming from the barrel is continuously transmitted to the balance via the gear train.
- the escapement forwards the power via the escape wheel and the anchor to the balance wheel.
- the oscillating body of the balance causes biasing of the coil spring, creating a return torque that causes the coil spring, after release by the armature, to return to its equilibrium position.
- the oscillating body is given a certain amount of kinetic energy, which is why it oscillates beyond its equilibrium position until the counter-torque of the spiral spring stops it and forces it to swing back.
- the spiral spring thus regulates the oscillation period of the balance and thus the course of the clock.
- a mechanical watch consists of a large number of smallest functional elements that must be precisely matched to each other and achieved with high accuracy in order to achieve high accuracy of the watch.
- Various methods for the production of functional elements, in particular also coil springs, for mechanical watches are known from the prior art.

In addition to the coarse-grained granules, these processes also produce very fine silicon powder whose particle sizes are in the desired range.
- Silicon powder with particle sizes in the micrometer and sub-micron range can also be produced from silane gas by high-temperature pyrolysis, by the Siemens process, by hydrogen reduction processes using tetrachlorosilanes or by other chemical vapor deposition processes. From the silicon powder, a nanoparticle specimen is produced by means of a sintering process.

It is therefore desirable that functional elements of a mechanical timepiece can be made such that they ideally show no temperature dependence in their movement behavior.
