Balance cock
Small metal plate screwed to the visible side of the movement. It carries the balance wheel shaft bearing.
Diamond endstone
A balance wheel shaft held in place by means of a diamond counter-bearing, or endstone, was one of the hallmarks of "1A" quality pocket watches made by Lange. In Lange tourbillon watches of the new era, diamond endstones limit the axial "play" of the carriage on both sides.
Gold chaton
The gold setting of a bearing jewel - in Lange watches, chatons are often secured to the three-quarter plate with two or three screws.
