EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT QUARTZ WATCHES
How do quartz watches work?
The primary power source of a quartz watch is a battery, which drives the hands and powers all complications. A low-frequency, tiny piece of quartz crystal (silicon-dioxide) serves as the oscillator, through which an electrical current is sent, resulting in vibrations that keep the movement oscillating and power the motor that moves the watch hands.
When an electric current is passed through quartz, it vibrates 32,768 times per second. The watch's circuit reduces this frequency to one electric pulse per second, which results in individual once-per-second ticks in contrast to a mechanical movement's constant sweeping motion.
Benefits of a quartz watch
Mechanical watches may require a finer level of craftsmanship and serve as a nostalgic reminder of the 20th century watchmaking tradition, but quartz watches certainly have their advantages. For one, they can be more accurate than even the most expensive mechanical watches, thanks to their super precise battery powered movement.
They're generally a lot more affordable too, as they require less parts and labour than their complex mechanical counterparts. Maintenance is minimal: you may need to replace the battery every couple of years, but there's no need to worry about repeatedly winding your watch, like you would for a mechanical timepiece.
Plus, they’re available in a wide variety of styles — from sporty diving watches to elegant dress watches and everything in between. Which brings us to...
