Designed in collaboration with renowned watchmakers, Glardon® escapement files guarantee you high-quality Swiss Made products manufactured from a high-carbon steel. Available up to Cut 10 (156 teeth/cm), with sharp edges and an extra slim point, our Glardon® escapement files are perfectly suited to work requiring a low removal capacity. They are perfect for gold, platinum, steel and titanium alloys.

An escapement file is characterized by :

• Its profile: We have more than fifteen different profiles available: dovetail, knife pointed, barrette, half-round, round, crossing, three square, watch anchor, warding, pillar, square, equalling, etc.
• Its length: this is measured in millimeters and does not include the tang.
• Its cut: Glardon® escapement files benefit from a double cut. This is indicated on a scale ranging from 00 which is the coarsest, to 10 which is the finest. Each of these cuts equates to a certain number of teeth per square centimeter.
