Pallet is a watch component that is used to transfer energy from the mainspring to the escapement. It is a small metal piece that has a series of teeth along its edges and is attached to the mainspring barrel. It works in conjunction with the escape wheel and the pallet fork to regulate the speed at which energy is released. The pallet is an integral part of a watch movement, and its precise shape and construction can have a significant effect on the accuracy and performance of the timepiece.
