Back 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 with no lubrication of the pallet stones, which would
quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of lubricant solves
an issue which includes plagued watchmakers as long as mechanical
timepieces have been around: gumming or hardening from the oil.
This fresh escapement draws on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He produced new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of these two well-known escapements for the
day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer
via pallet fork and guard pin contained in the precursor into the modern
Swiss lever escapement as invented by Thosmas Mudge in 1759 swiss replicas.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the aspects of both systems
in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem and
introducing a brand new and important section the sport: rate
