The Incablock and KIF shock protection systems both utilize floating bearings (syntheric ruby) to protect the balance wheel from impact shocks. The main differences are in the shape of the retaining spring and the positioning of the cap jewels. The first 7 pix illustrate the Incablock system, the last three show the KIF.
