escapement

基本解釋

In the mid-1970s he made a double-escapement watch for Mr Clutton which, over 32 days, lost less than a second.
20世紀70年代中期，他爲Sam Clutton制作了一塊雙擒縱機搆的表。 32天裡表的誤差沒有超過一秒。
Now he had to improve on the lever escapement, which had been invented in 1754 by the English horologist Thomas Mudge and used in most watches since.
接著他要完善的是叉瓦式擒縱機搆。叉瓦式擒縱機搆1754年由英國制表師Thomas Mudge發(fā)明，從那以後就廣泛運用於大部分表中。
So it was no surprise to him, though keenly disappointing, that the Swiss watchmaking industry was neither eager to look at the co-axial escapement, nor able to understand it.
所以，瑞士的鍾表制作業(yè)對他的同軸式擒縱機搆既不感興趣也不能理解，這也是他意料之中的事，盡琯他還是爲此十分失望。
