l'ébauche du mouvement de la montre


Explanation:
"Horology, clockmaking and watchmaking appropriated the term ébauche to refer to an incomplete or unassembled watch movement and its associated components. The French term is regularly used by English-speaking artists and art historians, as well as horologists and hobbyists."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ébauche

"L'ébauche en horlogerie est l'ensemble de pièces non assemblées du mouvement (platine, ponts, rouage, mécanisme de remontage et de mise à l'heure, raquette de réglage) et commercialisées sous cette forme.

Ne font toutefois pas partie de l'ébauche, les organes réglants (échappement, balancier-ressort spiral) et le ressort moteur."

the context says "timepiece ebauche movement", which is exactly what I translated.
What is the point of posting exactly the same 6 minutes later?
As for voting for that ...
