Okay, folks, since the clock is ticking (... ahem...), I'm in need of help with the next term. Same stuff as before, but it's some kind of control unit for the escapement. I'll keep looking in the meantime...

Cheers,

Reference: Regulating system

Reference information:
"The device governing tourbillon watches consists of a mobile carriage housing the movement’s regulating organs: namely the balance-wheel, balance-spring and escapement. The constantly spinning tourbillon subjects the regulating organ to a regular 360° rotation, thereby cancelling out over time gravity’s effects on the regulating system, and thus on the movement’s precision."
(http://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en2/watches/tourbillon.ht...

"Building the regulating system, particularly the escapement, requires advanced know-how and technical capabilities that only a few manufacturers are able to enjoy."
