Question
I have a Vincenti French clock movement (Silver Medal 1855 - clock itself is circa 1890) - the Brocot spring (the small piece that holds the pendulum - has the two flat metal strips) - one of the strips is not attached to the piece which holds the pendulum. Do you know where I might get a replacement for this part? Thanks for any help you can give me.
You are looking for a suspension spring. We have these in several sizes and shapes. You can see them on our website at:

The SS-30 and SS-33 are very popular.
