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 effective at running perfectly at 43,200 vph
or 6 hertz-even without any lubrication of the pallet stones, which
would quickly dissipate at that speed anyway. The omission of lubricant
solves an issue that’s plagued watchmakers provided mechanical
timepieces have been common: gumming or hardening within the oil.
This fresh escapement draws on an invention by Parisian royal
clockmaker Robert Robin (1742-1799). He produced a 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 within the precursor for the modern Swiss
lever escapement as created by Thosmas Mudge in 1759.

Audemars Piguet has succeeded in securing the benefits of both systems
in its new high-frequency escapement, solving the oil problem and
introducing a new and important ingredient of the overall game: rate
