Their newer calibers use a standard swiss lever escapement but the micro-rotor automatic movement still comes with the natural escapement. I had heard that adjusting it can be tricky and more time consuming than the standard swiss lever escapement.
I'd be curious to know about long term experiences of forum members with any of the 3 popular movements based on a variant of the natural escapement:
- LF's micro rotor movement
- KV's Vingt-8 movement
- FPJ's CO (apparently only 2 FPJ watchmakers can adjust this one)
