Pallet Fork

The pallet fork is a key component of the escapement in a mechanical watch movement. It transfers energy from the escape wheel to the balance wheel in controlled impulses, helping regulate the movement’s timekeeping. Pallet forks are delicate parts and may need replacement when jewels, pivots, horns, or locking surfaces are worn, damaged, or incorrectly adjusted.
