i wonder if for the first question KIF shock protection might be what the op was asking about? not sure.

for the second question: i think it's kinda neat how the tension on the mainspring works in an opposite way to the speed of the watch. fully wound the watch runs slower than a partial wind when it speeds up. you would think it would be the other way around, but once you understand how the escapement works and get the concept of amplitude then it makes more sense.
