A quartz watch gets its name from the type of movement that drives the watch, namely - quartz (or quartz crystal). Quartz watches are accurate, easy to maintain and lightweight. This is in contrast to mechanical watches, which were the standard before 1969 when Seiko launched the very first Astron Quartz watch.
But how exactly does a quartz watch work? Everything starts with electricity and the movement of quartz crystal. This material vibrates with a precise frequency that controls the watch hands or the digital figures. Because the crystals always vibrate at the same frequency, there is only one movement per second and this type of watch is therefore extremely precise. However, not all quartz watches work in this way. There are also quartz watches with batteries that charge themselves through movement, or that are charged by solar energy. Within the quartz collection itself, there is also a lot of variation to be found.
Whether you are looking for a quartz watch for women or men, the choice is enormous at hollandwatchgroup.com. From Casio and Seiko to G-Shock and Fossil, from rugged to classic and from a steel watch band to a leather one - there are plenty of beautiful examples available that are ready to be added to your watch collection.
