What is a Quartz Movement in Watches?

A quartz movement is a type of timekeeping mechanism used in watches that relies on the oscillations of a quartz crystal to regulate the passage of time. This technology revolutionized the watch industry, offering exceptional accuracy, reliability, and convenience.

Principle of Operation: Inside a quartz movement, a small piece of quartz crystal is precisely cut and shaped to vibrate at a specific frequency when an electrical current is applied. This predictable vibration rate serves as a natural timekeeping reference. The movement’s integrated circuit detects these vibrations and converts them into regular electrical pulses, which are then used to regulate the watch’s timekeeping functions.

Unparalleled Accuracy: Quartz movements are celebrated for their extraordinary accuracy, typically deviating by mere seconds per month. This precision outperforms most mechanical movements and ensures that quartz watches require minimal adjustments to maintain accurate time.

Low Maintenance: Quartz movements are known for their minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike mechanical movements, they don’t rely on complex gears and springs, reducing the need for regular lubrication and intricate adjustments. This convenience makes quartz watches especially popular for everyday wear.
