Product Description

The Hublot 1242 Silicon Pallet Fork is a generic aftermarket replacement component for the self‑winding flyback chronograph movement HUB1242 (also known as MHUB1242) and the UNICO family variants that share the same modular escapement architecture. Manufactured from high‑grade silicon, it interacts with the silicon escape wheel and the balance wheel to regulate mainspring energy release.

This aftermarket part offers watchmakers and restoration specialists a practical, cost‑effective alternative for replacing a worn or damaged original pallet fork.

Features & Function

Engineered for Hublot HUB1242 – Precision‑designed for the self‑winding flyback chronograph movement HUB1242 and other UNICO family calibres that use the identical interchangeable escapement module.

High‑grade silicon construction – Silicon is extremely lightweight, anti‑magnetic (>15,000 gauss), highly resistant to wear and corrosion, and requires very little to no lubrication.

Integrated into a removable escapement platform – The silicon pallet fork is mounted together with the silicon escape wheel on a dedicated bridge, allowing the entire escapement module to be removed, adjusted, or replaced without disassembling the rest of the movement.

Drop‑in replacement – Exact‑fit substitution for the original Hublot pallet fork; requires no modification to the escapement or the rest of the movement.

Restores chronometer‑grade performance – When installed with a correctly adjusted escapement, it helps maintain the movement’s original 72‑hour power reserve, 28,800 vph frequency and flyback chronograph accuracy.
