The Riefler escapement is a mechanical escapement for precision pendulum clocks invented and patented [1] by German instrument maker Sigmund Riefler in 1889. [2] It was used in the astronomical regulator clocks made by his German firm Clemens Riefler from 1890 to 1965, [ 3 ] which were perhaps the most accurate all-mechanical pendulum clocks made.
Sigmund Riefler was born on 9 August 1847 to Magdalena and Clemens Riefler. He studied mathematics, geodesy and mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, and then physics and astronomy at the University of Munich. From 1870 he worked as an engineer in the Royal Prussian Land Survey, surveying land in Schleswig. [3]

The pallet fork is a component of the lever escapement of a mechanical watch. [1] The pallet fork and the lever form one component that sits between the escape wheel and the balance wheel. Its purpose is to lock the escape wheel, and release it one tooth at a time at each swing of the balance wheel, and also give the balance wheel small pushes ...

After discussions with Moritz J. Grossman he adopted the simple detached pin lever escapement. Listing of the features for the new calibre: 1 Escapement on a platform normally using a pin lever design but possible with a lever or cylinder escapement; 2. No centre wheel but a large barrel; 3. Motion work to hands direct from the barrel arbour; 4.
