Abstract
This escapement comprises a balance wheel (), an escape wheel (), a detent rocker () having an arresting element () and an elastic clearance element (), means for inserting the arresting element into the path of the teeth of the escape wheel (), and a clearance pin () rotating integrally with the balance wheel () in order to engage with the elastic clearance element () of the rocker () once per period of oscillation of the balance wheel. The means for inserting the arresting element () into the path of the teeth of the escape wheel () comprise a sliding surface () integral with the detent rocker () and arranged so as to move into the path of the teeth of the escape wheel () when the arresting element () leaves it, this sliding surface being shaped so as to return the arresting element () to the locking position.
