Quartz watch: How does it work ?
Quartz watch: explanation
A true revolution in the 1970s, the quartz watch is now the most widely sold type of watch in the world. As its name suggests, a quartz watch uses a quartz crystal. Quartz is a mineral with piezoelectric properties. Piezoelectricity is the ability of a material to become electrically polarized under the influence of a mechanical force. Conversely, this material has the ability to vibrate and oscillate under the influence of an electrical voltage.
This vibration of quartz is not random; it is exactly 32 768 vibrations per second. All the quartz crystals in quartz watches vibrate at this frequency. A counter calculates the number of vibrations emitted by the quartz crystal; once this number reaches 32 768 it triggers the advancement of the second hand by one second and the mechanism of the time display in general.
The regularity of these vibrations is what allows quartz watches to be extremely precise, more that the automatic watches which adjust themselves according to the movements of your wrist. It is considered that a quartz watch loses less than one second per month.
