Due to its piezoelectric feature, regular frequency vibration, and low cost due to its abundance on earth, quartz is used in timepieces. Quartz is essentially the ideal material for use in a watch movement because of its unique property that generates a dependable and constant vibrating frequency. The Benefits Of Quartz Movement Watches More Affordable - Battery-powered quartz watches demand fewer components and higher levels of watchmaking skill than their complicated mechanical counterparts. This all adds up to a product that is more reasonably priced. Superior Accuracy - The frequency of an oscillation in a quartz crystal never c...
