What you have the is a Incastar Regulator system.  I have attached images which explain and show how the regulator works.

It actually says Incastar on the dial . Thanks for sharing . It's for sale on ebay but i would like to build it up if i had a nice case for it . Probably has been a gold case for it as i bought as a movement . Somebody has melted down the gold for the money . To bad .

One of the interesting aspects of watch repair is the discovering of variations. Not just case variations dial variations the hands but movement components. The watch companies seem to have an endless supply of ideas of how to do things giving us an incredible quantity of things to torture us with. Although I'm not sure they were actually specifically designed to torture the watchmaker they can end up doing that.

 

So the links below have additional information lots of pictures lots of variations of using this regulation system. The third link if you scroll down far enough has a picture of the inside of the case back which has the setting instructions.

Then I've attached a image for an advertisement for another system called a triostat

      Titan 5130

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      Had another strange one on my bench. A Titan ladies watch with an unknown movement. It had a battery leak and initial test revealed a short circuit. I removed the PCB and gave it an acid wash. The short was cleared and I reassembled the movement and dropped in a new battery. I thought that was it, job done. But when I looked at the second hand carefully, I noticed something wasn't right. It would tick one second, then twitch the next second. Like ... tick ... twitch ... tick ... twitch. Weird! So I disassembled everything and ran it through a cleaning cycle. I didn't take any photos during disassembly because I thought "how hard could it get? It a quartz watch". Boy was I wrong. Took me 2 hours to figure out where everything went. But everything worked out fine in the end.  After dinner, I researched more on the Titan watch company and found out that the movement is an in-house movement, the 5130. There was a video on YouTube even.

      Quick intro

      Not sure how you came to this conclusion. The mainsprings on Soviet made watches are just as good or bad as any other mainsprings, including those found in Swiss-made watches. The so called T-end mainsprings are fitted in many-many-many-many (sorry for sticky keyboard keys) other watches also. And huge amount of Soviet / Russian built watches are equipped with regular Swiss-hook type mainsprings (Vostok 2409 & 2414 for example). And also, T-end mainsprings are super easy to get installed back into the barrel. You just need to get more experience.

      This one’s an oldie

      Another satisfied customer.  This one was old but had been butchered many times during its lifetime.  Most of the repairs I had to make were to bodged previous repairs.  Made a couple of new spring washers and a dial washer, a new strike timing cam, 4 new bushes, and multiple other repairs to fix various issues.  The clock is running well.

      Looks like Cousins have got it wrong with their labelling/stocking

      Before you give up, have one last look at the hairspring to make sure it didn't land outside the regulator pins or something like that after oiling the jewels and reassembling. That happens easily and is easy to miss.
