The spiral, ("hair") of the swing, can have basically two forms, the most common, flat, in which the hair is curled in a spiral shape.This hair is wound in the shape of a cylinder. In an attempt to obtain greater accuracy, this type of spiral is widely produced for quality watches to marine use, the clock that determined the time inside each ship.
