Five - ten - twenty - the hands were approaching nine o'clock.
The professor became irritable as the minute hand of the clock approached eleven.
His hand slowly approached the green button and paused over it.
But a hand was quickly approaching, and there was no escape.

The trembling hand approached within an inch of hers and then the boy's courage failed him.
His hand approached her face and she flinched again.
The hands of the robot approached the starting bar.
