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 effective 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 audemars piguet offshore.
The omission of lubricant solves a challenge containing plagued
watchmakers for as long as mechanical timepieces have existed: gumming
or hardening on 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 in the precursor into the modern Swiss lever
escapement as designed by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.
Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the attributes of both
systems in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem
and introducing a whole new and important section the game: rate
precision.”see more repliche Breitling and replicas Cartier
