The “quartz revolution” brought the quartz watch and watch industry as a whole into the hands of all people. While the quartz movement made watches more accessible and affordable, this new technology also brought more accuracy and precision.
Many see automatic watches as the most intricate and technical watch movements, but did you know a quartz circuit counts 32,768 vibrations each second?
Seiko watches were the first to go quartz, and many have since followed and improved upon the movement. Citizen watches are known for their eco-drive technology and powering quartz movement through solar power.
