Last 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 in the pallet stones, which
would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of lubricant
solves an issue which has plagued watchmakers provided that mechanical
timepieces have endured: gumming or hardening of your oil.
This fresh escapement is dependant on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He developed a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of the well-known escapements throughout the
day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer
via pallet fork and guard pin within the precursor towards 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 the latest and important component to the action: rate
