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 without having lubrication with the pallet stones,
which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of
lubricant solves a challenge which includes plagued watchmakers for as
long as mechanical timepieces have been with us: gumming or hardening of
your oil.
This fresh escapement is dependent on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He designed a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of the two well-known escapements during the
day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer
via pallet fork and guard pin in the precursor to your modern Swiss
lever escapement as invented by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the aspects of both systems
in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem and
introducing a different and important ingredient of the overall game:
