  • This is one of many designs which try to separate the impulse phase from the regulation of the motion of the escape wheel in order to be able to rely less on lubrication on the impulse jewels. Some design, like the Robin derived AP have been tested at very high pace (7+Hz) but the main goal is not to be faster or more precise, just to have less service.

  • @ISREAL53 Not really mate. Look into the movement more closely it is regarded by many horologists as being revolutionary in terms of horology.

  • Hello! Can someone help me? I want to buy a watch but i'm not sure if it is genuine because on the dial it says co-axial but on the back it says quartz. Any ideas? It costs 130$ and it is not a new model.

  • i have a omega chronometer automatic co-axial escapement limited edition can someone tell me the price?

  • @mik63ward Actually you're wrong - an almost identical coaxial escapement was made by Fasoldt in the 1870's. One of these watches is featured in the 1965 book "English and American Watches" -- by George Daniels.

  • george may be a good watchmaker but he only embellished an idea that was designed a couple of HUNDRED years ago by mudge.

  • @dano415 A friend of mine has had 10+ co axials and never had a problem, but he likes to rotate them out like twice a year so it's difficult to say. He says a lot of people complained about some new coaxial variation on the PO chronograph, but he hasn't had any trouble. His does +2 seconds per day.

  • a very important development in watchmaking history. George Daniels is a genius.

  • I have never heard of one of these movements failing?

    Are they that good?

  • well, the various quartz movements are regulated to within +15 seconds a month, my citizens generally do +7ish seconds a month. But Citizen is the ultimate maker of high end quartz, like the chronomaster, which is guaranteed to within 5 seconds a year.
