Verge escapement is a mechanical device that for the first time made it possible to convert continuous movement (pen drive) into intermittent, regulated movement, and thus measure time.

Spindle is a popular expression derived from the German word Spindel, which means spindle. Clocks that used it were called "spindles". This is a clock movement used in the Baroque era.
