Quartz movement is a high-precision method of watch engineering,
considered to be the best technology available for making
accurate timepieces. It’s synonymous with luxury Swiss watches
and the horology workshops of Geneva. A quartz clock uses an
electronic oscillator and is powered by a quartz crystal. Quartz
crystal is a mineral that’s in plentiful supply. There are many
varieties of Quartz, with some varieties being classified as
gemstones and used in jewellery. Quartz is one of the most
heavily used materials in jewellery making. Usually found in
Granite and other felsic igneous rocks, Quartz is ideally found
in a six-crystal form, with each crystal double-ended with a
six-sided pyramid. It can also be found in Sandstone and Shale,
and other rocks which can be classified as ‘metamorphic’.
Essentially, Quartz is able to conduct electrical charge due to
its crystal structure. Quartz is piezoelectric, meaning that it
bends naturally when subjected to an electric charge,. The
‘flex’ produced by this structure
