because they wouldn't go bing bong...it just wouldn't sound right

ANS 2Mechanical clocks have an escapement mechanism that allows the clock to turn at a constant speed. The timing comes either by a swinging pendulum or from a "balance wheel" with a hair spring.

As the timing mechanism swings or spins first one way and then the other it causes a pivot bar to first let one tooth on the escapement wheel slip past but catch the tooth on the opposite side. for each swing, the escapement wheel can turn only one tooth. The ticking is the sound of the pivot bar catching the tooth on the escapement wheel.
