Audemars Piguet’s escapement is a small component that releases energy according to the beat of the balance wheel. Its layout is different from the traditional anchor design used in almost all mechanical watches. The new configuration is more energy-efficient and does not require lubricants. These two advantages provide the company's engineers with many options. "The first idea is to use the excess energy to drive a larger, higher inertia balance wheel," Papi explained. "This is what we did in Cabinet No. 5 [2006] with some success. The second idea is to increase the frequency of the watch, which was impossible in the past because the lubricant would fly off the parts. go."
