Pressure Dial gauge rigging and animation

Hey all! i am new to this forum and had started to learn Maya recently.At present, i am trying to rig and animate a pressure dial gauge.Modeling is done and now i face a problem while animating the needle of the dial gauge.
My scene file contains a pressure gauge with a needle and a turning knob (regulator).the needle rotation inside the pressure gauge is controlled by the knob.so i had linked both by using expression as;
needle.rotateZ=knob.rotateZ*0.45;
Now, i want to make the rotation of the needle a bit more natural (adding a delay effect to needle rotation with respect to knob and slow down its speed of rotation of needle . i had tried the "get attr" expression but it didnt work out...kindly help me .....
