The detent escapement: from marine chronometers to wristwatches
An escapement is a device in mechanical watches that transforms the energy from the unwinding of a coiled spring (the power source) into countable impulses.
In particular, each swing of the balance wheel releases a tooth of the escapement s escape wheel gear, allowing the clock s gear train to advance or escape by a fixed amount. This regular periodic advancement moves the clock s hands forward at a steady rate.
Without the escapement, the spring would unwind in a few seconds making the wheel turn too fast, just like a coil spring that, compressed between two fingers, is released suddenly.
