hyster Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 It holds in place and allows adjustment of the regulator arm of the movement, as far as I know anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 As Hyster said, it facilitates fine regulation of the movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The 'swan neck' is a spring that places pressure on one side of the regulator needle and the pressure on the other side comes from a small screw. Therefore adjusting the screw moves the regulator in smaller increments than would normally be possible without this system. It's functional and also pretty.
