Tip of the pallets which alternately pushes the impulse-pin placed under the balance and spring assembly so as to maintain its oscillations.擒纵叉的末端，交替推动位于摆轮游丝装置下面的冲击销，以维持振幅。

Frequency - 频率

Number of oscillations per second. Frequency is expressed in Hertz (Hz). 1 hertz = 1 oscillation = 2 vibrations per second.The frequency of the balance and spring assembly of mechanical watches is no higher than 5 Hertz (5 oscillations/sec.).The frequency of quartz is 32,000 Hertz (32,000 oscillations/second).每秒钟摆动的次数。频率以赫兹（Hz）计量。1赫兹 = 每秒1次摆动 = 每秒2次振动。 机械表的摆轮游丝装置的频率不高于5赫兹（5次摆动/秒）。 石英频率为32,000 赫兹（32,000次摆动/秒）。

FUS - 时区

Abbreviation for time zone in the Patek Philippe typology.在百达翡丽而言是“time zone - 时区”的缩写。

Galvanised/Galvanic plating - 电镀

Technique for plating metal by electrolysis. For example, the bridges and plates are protected from oxidation by a fine layer of rhodium.通过电解作用镀敷金属的工艺方法。例如，通过电镀一层薄铑来防止桥板和主机板氧化。

Gearing - 传动装置、齿轮装置、齿轮传动

Gear train composed of wheels and toothed pinions.由齿轮和小齿轮组成的齿轮系。

Gear-train - 齿轮系、传动机构

Set of wheels driven in an interdependent movement. The gear-train generally called the going train is the one that transmits energy and divides up time. It comprises the hour wheel, the minute wheel and the seconds wheel.Variable sets of wheel result in reduction and in different speeds of rotation.在机芯内受驱动的一套齿轮，通常被称为运转轮系的齿轮系，用于传送动力和分割时间，由时针轮、分针轮和秒针轮组成。不同的齿轮组和可产生减速和变速的效果。

匀速齿轮系：维持旋转速度。

加速齿轮系：每个齿轮的转速较前者为快。 减速齿轮系：每个齿轮的转速较前者为慢。

Gem-setter - 镶石工匠

Craftsman who sets fine stones or precious stones.镶嵌优质宝石或珍贵石头的工匠。

Gem-setting - 宝石镶嵌

Adorning with fine stones or precious stones. On watches, the stones are fitted into the recesses, which are small holes formed earlier during the machining process, and they are then immobilised by pushing back the material around them.用优质或

珍贵宝石作装饰。在钟表上，这些宝石被嵌入凹槽（先以机器加工工序形成的{要和谐}）内，然后通过推压其周围的材料将其固定。

Geneva stripes - 日内瓦条纹

Famous wavelike decorative pattern created on the bridges and oscillating weights of Patek Philippe watches. The tool required is crafted from boxwood by the craftsman himself, coated in abrasive paste and then pressed manually in order to remove an extremely small amount of material.百达翡丽钟表的桥板和摆动锤上的著名波浪形装饰图案。所需工具由工匠采用黄杨木亲手制作，并涂上研磨膏，然后用手按压以去除极少量的材料。
