Why is " Quartz " in every clock ⏰ ⏰ ??


Do you know what is common between a 200 rupee local watch and a 10000 rupee G shock watch ? Yes it is the " Quartz " word.

Come Lets know the significance of the Quartz in watches.

In olden days , our grandparents used pendulum clocks which were inaccurate as in summer and winter the time changed causing issues.

Here comes Quartz to the rescue. Quartz is a white crystal mined like gold which has a special property to vibrate insanely at a frequency of 32758 Hz when electric current💡 is applied. With the help of flipflop circuits its frequency is reduced to 1 Hz corresponding to the hand of the clock. 

Quartz is used because of its stability towards temperature , high accuracy , low power consumption , durability and reliability.

So the final verdict is that whether the clock shows time or not it should have QUARTZ.
