But it contained neither the tourbillon cage that surrounds the watch’s oscillating escapement nor the 30 percent additional power required to fuel it.

The natural coho stock in the Queets is currently under a rebuilding plan through the Pacific Fisheries Management Council after being designated “overfished” in 2018 when spawning escapement levels dropped below the minimum threshold.

In the Queets River, only in one of the last eight years have the runs achieved the escapement goal, or the number of salmon that “escape” harvest and return to the river or hatchery to spawn and sustain the population.

Mere weeks after the escapement, Cooke’s salmon were found as far south as Tacoma and as far north as Vancouver Island.
