Monolithic oscillator (Frédérique Constant)

3D Model

This 0.3 mm-thick monolithic silicon oscillator can be found in the Slimline Monolithic Manufacture watches from Frédérique Constant (calibre FC-810, unveiled in March 2021).

This compliant mechanism shares several similarities with the one found in the Zenith Defy Lab. This is not so surprising as both oscillators were developed in collaboration with Flexous Mechanisms B.V. (Delft, The Netherlands).
