Glad to see all of these developments in watch escapements. There seem to be multiple strategies for reducing friction between the pallet stones and escape wheel in yhe seiss lever escapement. Also, there are new manufacturing techniques for precision parts, and hairspring materials. Can't wait to see this tech become more widespread!
Very interesting. I fail to understand how the balance wheel keeps oscillating in such escapement : On a swiss lever I though the palette fork was sending part of its energy (from the winding rotor) back into the balance wheel (so that it wound't stop). In such escapement, I don't get how energy is sent to the balance wheel...
Ok, after reviewing the video several times I realised that it's exactly what is explained when talking about the "direct impulse". That's a very elegant solution IMO.
Wow! I was impressed by the engineering feats of John Harrison. This is next level.
Exactly half as good as the Omega/Daniels co axial escapement as it is literally half of the coaxial escapement and impulses in only one direction.
I'm my opinion I think that Omega and Rolex are the best and most robust movement in the watch industry

I DONT FIND AT THE END, A BIG DIFFERENCE..
IT NEEDS A BIG AND INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT...WHEEL IS ALREADY INVENTED WE WANT SOMEUTHING DIFFERENT
Engenharia mecânica fantástica, Brasil ok.
WONDERFUL
This is a minor variation of the decades old Robin escapement.
Be interesting to know how this improves watch accuracy, if at all. In theory less friction could mean longer life.
This are real SMART watches

*sings* If only i had a workshop. do do, do do, do do

Basically copy of co_axial escapment
@defia16bars Copy of the Robin escapement actually.
Wake up people, it is 21-st century, stop making toys!
