Do you wanna know more about quartz watch?
Quartz watch, also known as quartz vibrating electronic watch, is one of the types of watches. The English name is quartz watch. The use of quartz crystals in timepieces is a modern invention. The world’s first quartz watch was made in July 1967 in Switzerland.
In 1969, Seiko Seiko of Japan launched the world’s first mass-produced quartz watch, named “Quartz Astron” with its leading global technology.
When the quartz crystal is affected by battery power, it will vibrate regularly. Quartz crystal vibrates up to 32768 times per second. People can design a simple circuit to calculate the number of times it vibrates. When it counts to 32768 times, the circuit will send out a message to move the second hand forward for one second.
Because the vibration of quartz is quite regular, even a cheap quartz watch, the error rate within a day will not exceed 1 second. Quartz watches can also be called “quartz vibration electronic watches” because they use the “vibration phenomenon” of quartz plates.
When quartz receives an external applied voltage, it has the properties of deformation and expansion. On the contrary, if the quartz is compressed, electricity will be generated at both ends of the quartz. This property is also seen in many crystals, which is called “piezoelectricity”. effect”. Quartz watches use crystals that periodically and continuously “vibrate” to bring us accurate time.
