Way back in 2006 the manufacture introduced a new escapement that
functioned at a less frenetic 21,600 vph, but even at that time tests
had shown that the AP escapement was efficient at running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even without the lubrication with the pallet
stones, which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission
of lubricant solves a difficulty which includes plagued watchmakers as
long as mechanical timepieces have been around: gumming or hardening
with the oil.
This fresh escapement uses an invention by Parisian royal clockmaker
Robert Robin (1742-1799). He created new system in 1791 that combined
the virtues of the well-known escapements throughout, so-called
free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer via pallet fork
and guard pin part of the precursor to your modern Swiss lever
escapement as introduced by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the features of both
systems in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem
and introducing a fresh and important ingredient of the sport: rate
precision.”mehr sehen uhr replica und Patek Philippe Grande Complication
