English term or phrase: Swiss lever escapement
The lever escapement has been used by the vast majority of watches since the 1800s. It is accurate and reasonably easy to manufacture. It is a self-starting escapement, so if the watch is shaken so that the balance wheel stops, it will automatically start again.

Te felicito, te debes cambiar el nombre a Sherlock Holmes, jajajaja. Que vivan los relojes suizos y sus misterios de convertir una palanca (lever) en rueda!

.... Sin el mecanismo de escape, los engranajes y las manecillas girarían hasta pararse rápidamente el muelle real. Este control consiste en la rueda de escape, la palanca o paleta de escape, el volante y el pelo o muelle delgado.
