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 capable of running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even which has no lubrication on the pallet
stones, which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission
of lubricant solves a challenge that has plagued watchmakers so long as
mechanical timepieces have been around: gumming or hardening from the
oil.
This fresh escapement is based on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He produced a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of the two well-known escapements throughout
the day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy
transfer via pallet fork and guard pin contained in the precursor
towards modern Swiss lever escapement as designed by Thosmas Mudge in
1759 swiss replicas.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the features of both
systems in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem
and introducing a different and important section the experience: rate
