Here is exactly what you want...

string Source = "{ TEST test } test { test test} {test test } { 123 } test test";
List Result = new List();
StringBuilder Temp = new StringBuilder();
bool inBracket = false;
foreach (char c in Source)
{
    switch (c)
    {
        case (char)32:       //Space
            if (!inBracket)
            {
                Result.Add(Temp.ToString());
                Temp = new StringBuilder();
            }
            break;
        case (char)123:     //{
            inBracket = true;
            break;
        case (char)125:      //}
            inBracket = false;
            break;
    }
    Temp.Append(c);
}
if (Temp.Length > 0) Result.Add(Temp.ToString());
