What is the primary advantage of the cylinder escapement over the earlier verge escapement in mechanical watches?
It allows the watch to run without any need for winding.
It completely eliminates the ticking sound in mechanical watches.
It reduces friction between the escape wheel and the timekeeping element, improving accuracy.
