PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a balance spring supporting structure for minimally adjusting a shift from a plane of a balance spring, and to provide a balance structure and a mechanical timepiece with the same. SOLUTION: The balance spring supporting structure 3 of the mechanical timepiece includes a balance holder height position adjusting mechanism 50 for displacing a balance holder 40 relative to a balance holder receptacle 30 in the vertical directions D1, D2. The balance holder 40 has a shaft 41 inserted into a hole 33 in the balance holder receptacle 30, and a disk flange 42. The balance holder height position adjusting mechanism has a balance holder height position adjusting element provided with an adjusting shaft 51 fitted to the balance holder receptacle 30, and an adjusting element body 52 having a reference truncated cone plane 56 eccentric to the adjusting shaft at one end. When the balance holder height position adjusting element is turned around the central axis line C of the adjusting shaft 51, the adjusting element body 52 pushes one end 46 of the disk flange 42 in the balance holder 40 by the reference truncated cone plane 56. The balance holder 40 is upwardly or downwardly displaced relative to the balance holder receptacle 30 in the direction D1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
