    In link creating the movement for this modern watch Girard-Perregaux utilized silicon to make the escapement and parts of the balance wheel. In 2013 the brand created a silicon blade for its prize-winning Constant link Escapement. According to GP the action of the silicon blade flexing backwards and forwards delivers a uniform supply of energy to the escapement link thereby enhancing precision. The brand also says that silicon's low coefficient of friction mitigates both wear and energy consumption.
