In this painting, Konstantin Chaykin finds an image of watch module mechanics that seems to him an unusual illustration of attachment as an emotional concept.

Of course, this is only a pictorial allegory, because the purely mechanical connection between the fusee and the wind-up drum by means of the Halle chain and the mutual attachment of mother and child have too little in common. Perhaps with the exception of the fact that the fusee-chain is used by watchmakers to equalize the tension transmitted from the winding drum to the clockwork. Indeed, emotional attachment is a good remedy for tension in a relationship.
