The method for adapting a timepiece movement provided to operate at ambient atmospheric pressure so as to operate in a low-pressure atmosphere comprises the following steps: 2. Method as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that the energy gain is used to modify the reduction ratio of the finishing going train or the torque of the barrel so as to increase the power reserve of the movement.3. Method as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that the energy gain is used to modify the barrel so as to reduce the size of the movement.4. Method as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that the energy gain is used to modify the inertia of the balance so as to increase the rate precision of the movement.5. Method as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that the operating pressure is between 5 mbar and 0.1 mbar.6. Method as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that E=2×π×f×I×θ.7. Method as claimed in claim 2 , characterised in that E=2×π×f×I×θ.8. Method as claimed in claim 3 , characterised in that E=2×π×f×I×θ.9. Method as claimed in claim 4 , characterised in that E=2×π×f×I×θ.10. Method as claimed in claim 5 , characterised in that E=2×π×f×I×θ. Documents FR1546744, FR2054540 and GB1272183 explain that in a watch under reduced pressure, the quality of these watches over time is improved, in particular since the risks of oxidisation of the movement and of the oils are reduced and since aging of the lubricants and wear due to oxidisation and corrosion are reduced.Moreover, as indicated in document FR2054540, by reducing the pressure prevailing within a watch case, the loss of energy owing to air friction tends towards zero and hence the quality factor of the oscillator of the timepiece movement increases considerably. Herein, “vacuum” or “protective atmosphere” or “low-pressure atmosphere” is understood to mean a pressure which is generally lower than atmospheric pressure, with or without an added gas, which is maintained within a case which has been optimised to preserve ...
