Description

Le Roy Paris
Showpiece enamel
Spindle pocket watch
----
early cylinder escapement
"Suction trough inhibition"
very rare
----

Around 1695, Thomas Tompion developed this escapement, the forerunner of the cylinder and duplex escapement. Because the cylinder, which did not yet have the second incision (passage) as with the cylinder escapement, looked like a small pig trough, it came to this somewhat strange name. Around 1705 Pierre de Baufre succeeded in making the cylinder of a watch with sauté trough escapement from a diamond. Around 1726, George Graham improved this escapement and the cylinder escapement was developed.
