Just picked up this small unusual Japy movement, It has the most unusual suspension set up I’ve ever seen, has anyone else ran into this? or any comments? I have posted it elsewhere ,and people seem to think it is a silk thread set up, I have owned many silk thread Movements, I don’t think this started out as one, maybe a transition piece? …I feel however it is original, maybe experimental
It’s the most unusual suspension set up I’ve ever seen, has anyone else ran into this before?? or any comments I have posted it elsewhere and people seem to think it is silk thread .,,I feel however it is not, as I have owned many silk threat suspensions, The regulating adjustment rod that goes through the movement is pinned on to a brass collet, A very thin soft suspension spring” coils“ around it and goes down through the narrow brass block the only thing missing( I feel) is the blocking pin on the bottom of the spring to hang the pendulum on… it definitely will move up and down when you turn it but I have never seen such a set up and I feel this original any comments or other pictures would be appreciated
