Incabloc Watchmakers Demonstration Model

A rare Incabloc demonstration unit to show how the Incabloc shock spring system works.

There are some micro cracks to the edges, seems like it might just be from manufacturing as the piece looks in superb condition.

It measures 11.4cm x 11.4cm.

Hard to find demonstration model that shows how the KIF shock absorption system works on watch movements.

There are some marks to the perspex (see pictures) where something has spilled perhaps, tried to wipe it off with a damp cloth but it remains there, this is all I have tried.

The unit measures 10cm x 12cm.
