Quartz movement is a type of timekeeping technology used in watches and clocks. It operates using a small piece of quartz crystal that vibrates when an electric current passes through it. This vibration helps keep accurate time, as it oscillates at a consistent frequency. The main advantage of quartz movement is its precision and low maintenance. Unlike mechanical movements, which require regular winding, quartz watches typically run on batteries and can last for years without needing a replacement. This makes them popular for everyday use and affordable timepieces.
