escapement

The time, stopping and continuing evermore, drifts away far out of reach.

The escapement is an integral part of a mechanical watch mechanism, responsible for regulating when exactly the power of the spring may advance the watch hands. Its action can be heard as the noticeable ticking sound of the watch.
