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 efficient at running perfectly at
43,200 vph or 6 hertz-even without the lubrication of the pallet stones,
which would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of
lubricant solves problems that’s plagued watchmakers for as long as
mechanical timepieces have been known: gumming or hardening with the
oil.
This fresh escapement is dependant on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He designed a new system in 1791
that combined the virtues of the well-known escapements for the day,
so-called free-sprung escapement and one including energy transfer via
pallet fork and guard pin within the precursor to your 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 brand new and important section the game: rate
