<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 720994, member: 6444&quot;]That is the name for the type of escapement, not related to the stop lever. The escapement is a critical part of the watch, a little piece of metal that goes back and forth to keep ticking at as close to a constant rate as possible. Just like computer technology these days, watch technology improved over time as the escapements improved, so a new technology (like a detached lever escapement, an improvement on the plain lever escapement) was worth bragging about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
