Incabloc can be said to be the most common shock absorber, it is what we often say horseshoe shock absorber, ETA movement has many are used for Ingapaglo shock absorber, is also the most widely used a shock absorber, most of the high-end brands are used this shock absorber, such as Langer, Glashutte original and other brands have adopted Incabloc, In addition, ETA's observatory movement is basically using Incabloc.

KIF shock absorbers are often used in high-end watches, although the effect is similar to that of Ingabelo, but high-end brands are partial to KIF, which may be the same as high-end brands that mostly use their own movements and rarely use ETA. KIF on weak impact, with its single Angle, moderates the gradual impact, and the shock spring is easy to replace, the three support points balance the pressure, so that the pendulum shaft can return to the best center position.

KIF movement is generally used in high-end watches, such as Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars and other top brands, so this also gives us a basis to identify the true and false watches, if a top watch uses a triangle shock absorber then this watch must be problematic, as for the Ingapagro shock absorber also has some top brand watches use, For example, Lange, Glashutte original, etc.

3.Etashoc (Triangle shock absorber)

Triangle shock absorber is the lowest price shock absorber, its shock absorber effect and because of the low price, KIF and there is no difference, so now many entry-level watches use triangle shock absorber, not only reduce the cost, but also more convenient when the watch maintenance

Now Mido, Tissot and other entry-level watches in order to reduce the cost has used the design of triangular shock absorber, so can not be as simple as before by observing what kind of shock absorber is to judge the authenticity of the watch, of course, their observatory certified watch movement is also used in Gabelo shock absorber, if found that the observatory certified watch is also used in triangular shock absorber it can be careful.

Continuation of the above mentioned, the Paraflex shock absorber is a new shock absorber launched by Rolex in 2005, which is 50% stronger than the traditional shock absorber effect, before this, Rolex has been using KIF shock absorber. However, it should be noted that in fact, Rolex does not use Paraflex shock absorbers across the board, only in 3132, 3136, 3156, 3187, 9001 and other relatively recent movements only use Paraflex shock absorbers.
