Here's something you don't see everyday. First of all, this watch has a mainspring that has been distorted into a cone shape by installation with fingers rather than with a mainspring winder. Actually, that's pretty common. I see it a lot.
But what is unusual here is that some creative repair person has spot wended together two pieces of the spring in order to, I'm guessing, repair a break in the part. This will definitely need to be replaced. Still, at least it's a neat looking bit of work.
My Grandfather always said that you never know what you will find when you get into a watch.
