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 competent at running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even without any lubrication with the pallet
stones, which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission
of lubricant solves problems that’s plagued watchmakers provided that
mechanical timepieces have endured: gumming or hardening of the oil.
This fresh escapement will depend on 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 through the day,
so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer via
pallet fork and guard pin contained in the precursor on the modern Swiss
lever escapement as invented by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the great things about both
systems in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem
and introducing a fresh and important aspect of the game: rate
precision.”mehr sehen replica uhren und Rolex Daytona
