A mechanism that regulates the release of energy from the mainspring to the gear train.
Extended Explanation:
The escapement is the “heartbeat” of a mechanical watch. It ensures that energy stored in the mainspring is released in precise intervals, allowing the hands to move consistently. Famous designs include the Swiss lever escapement, co-axial escapement (developed by George Daniels, used by Omega), and high-tech silicon variants that improve durability and reduce friction.
