Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2400352A1] The system (1) has a pallet (7) equipped with a fork intended to collaborate with a pin mounted on a plate (5). The pallet comprises a rod with an arm intended to accept pallet stones (21) so as to collaborate with an escapement wheel (23), where a part of the system is made of partially amorphous metal alloy or completely amorphous metal. The wheel, pallet and the pallet stones are respectively made of a partially amorphous metal alloy, where the pallet stones and the pallet are made of a single piece. The metal alloy is non-magnetic.
