Is a popular type of shock absorption system used in mechanical watches. It helps protect the delicate parts of the watch movement from sudden shocks and impacts. The system consists of a small spring and a jewel that are designed to absorb the energy from external shocks. The spring holds the jewel in place over the balance wheel staff, allowing it to move and shift when the watch experiences a sudden jolt or impact. This helps prevent damage to the delicate components of the watch, ensuring its smooth operation and longevity.
