A Geneva wheel, also known as a Geneva drive, is an engine mechanism that controls the timing and motion of various components in a clock, watch or other mechanical devices. It consists of a toothed wheel mounted on a shaft with a spring-loaded pin, which engages and disengages with the teeth as it rotates, creating a precise, repetitive movement. This mechanism is widely used in timekeeping instruments for its efficiency and accuracy.
