In the past two and a half centuries, has never been the “heart” of the mechanical watch – the escapement significant improvement. Dr. George Daniel, the inventor and master clocks, invented in the 1980s and the OMEGA carried forward the coaxial escapement is an exception.
The revival of mechanical watchmaking
In the early 1980s, inventor and master clocks Dr. George Daniels, has invented a clever design of the new escapement.
