Balance spring

other languages: de                  

A balance spring, or hairspring, is a fine spiral or helical spring used in mechanical watches, marine chronometers, and other timekeeping mechanisms to control the rate of vibration of the balance wheel. A balance spring usually has a regulator lever to adjust the rate of the timepiece.
