A cap jewel you will find on both sides of the balance wheel staff (pivot)
and this piece (cap jewel) is under a very small spring that closes down on the
jewel but lets it float a little so if G-d forbid you drop your watch the
balance staff that fits right underneath it will move up and down a fraction so
it will not snap as the cap jewel is held in by the small inca bloc spring as
mentioned just before. You have a small friction jewel just under the cap jewel
and this small friction jewel has a hole in the center and this is where the
balance staff goes into, to keep the balance straight and the cap jewel is flat
on the balance staff side and rounded on top so the Inca bloc spring keeps a it
snug in place but will let it move a fraction of a mm to give the staff protein
from falls. Without an Inca bloc system on both plates of the balance if the
watch is dropped there is no give and the balance will snap in half and you are
looking at a major repair job.
