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 effective at running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even with no lubrication on the pallet stones,
which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of
lubricant solves a difficulty that’s 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 developed a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of these two well-known escapements during the
day, so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer
via pallet fork and guard pin part of the precursor to your modern
Swiss lever escapement as introduced 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 brand new and important aspect of the overall game: rate
precision.”
