How do quartz watches work? Understanding the science behind their precision
The science behind quartz watches: how they keep perfect time
A quartz watch offers precision that is unparalleled in horology.

The quartz revolution transformed horology with a winning combination of precision and accessibility. Before the ascension of Quartz watches, mechanical watches utilized gears and springs that, although intricate, would eventually drift over time to minutes each month.  It was in 1880 that Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered the amazing properties of quartz, but it was not until 1969 that precision met its match. This was when legendary brand Seiko introduced the Astron, forever changing the quartz era by improving accuracy to within seconds per year. 

The quartz watches of today offer elevated innovation and functionality, coupled with elegance and timeless style, giving men sophisticated options when it comes to modern accessories. To better understand how quartz watches work, it is essential to know all the components and what makes them tick.
