In fact a detent escapement is in theory the best escapement in existence.

We are extremely happy to bring to you yet another very talented young watchmaker in the name of Raúl Pagès who has been working on his very first movement, but to make things easy incorporated a "détente" mechanism.

Raúl has worked for many years on some serious historical restoration projects and this has given him a very comprehensive view of some antique movements, in particular, marine chronometer where you will often find such an escapement. But to translate this into a wristwatch is of course a totally different challenge and something which he achieved brilliantly.
