escapement

基本解释

In the mid-1970s he made a double-escapement watch for Mr Clutton which, over 32 days, lost less than a second.
20世纪70年代中期，他为Sam Clutton制作了一块双擒纵机构的表。 32天里表的误差没有超过一秒。
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.
接着他要完善的是叉瓦式擒纵机构。叉瓦式擒纵机构1754年由英国制表师Thomas Mudge发明，从那以后就广泛运用于大部分表中。
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，瑞士的钟表制作业对他的同轴式擒纵机构既不感兴趣也不能理解，这也是他意料之中的事，尽管他还是为此十分失望。
