There are several implementations of motor
wound movements, and in this one by Diehl of Germany, the motor winds a
helical coil spring under the large gear wheel to drive a pin pallet balance
wheel escapement. The motor is stopped by a lever behind the gear wheel
pushing a nylon rod in the motor body (running vertically, just to the
left of the worm drive) which disengages the brushes of the motor. After
a few minutes, a cam on the gear wheel releases the lever which re-engages
the motor brushes. The motor runs and turns the large gear wheel another
revolution.
