Name something that exists in all mechanical watches (well maybe in 98% of ‘em) It is the shock absorber from Incabloc!
Developed in the 1930s, the Incabloc® shock absorber relies on a tiny, specially shaped spring calculated for a range of mechanical functions. The ingenious design of the lyre-spring® combined with the double cone of the recentering system react instantly to shocks of varying intensity from any direction. The device thus confers unprecedented resistance to the regulating organ of mechanical watches.
Amazing isn’t it, the company does this, and this only! And everybody needs them, this stuff barely changed since the 30s and still is relevant!
