Breguet’s detent escapement

 

The other day I came across this 12 year old YouTube video on Breguet’s channel referring to a new detent escapement they invented in 2005. I was able to find a corresponding patent for it, but otherwise I’ve never heard or seen anything about this. 

Does anyone know anything about it? Was it ever demonstrated in public or released in a wristwatch, or was it just one of those inventions that didn’t make it to manufacturing?
