Abstract:
1. A method for orienting a timepiece component to guide the pivoting of said component, which is made of material that is at least partially magnetically or respectively electrostatically permeable, or at least partially magnetic or respectively electrostatic, and including a first end and a second end, wherein, on both sides of said first and second ends, two magnetic or respectively electrostatic fields are created, each tending to attract said component onto a pole piece, and an unbalance is created between said magnetic or respectively electrostatic fields around said component, so as to create a differential in the forces thereon in order to press one of said ends of said component onto a contact surface of one of said pole pieces, and to hold the other of said ends at a distance from a contact surface of the other pole piece, said unbalance between said magnetic or respectively electrostatic fields being created around the air gap formed by the space comprised between said contact surfaces and further wherein said magnetic or respectively electrostatic fields are asymmetrical relative to each other and of different intensity from each other.
