    This is the technology upon which quartz timekeeping is based. If
    you pass 1.5 volts of electricity thru a sliver of quartz , it will
    vibrate at a consistent rate, regardless of temperature(to an extent)
    or position, and then the microchip on the circuit board counts the
    vibrations ,or oscillations. Every so many oscillations, depending on
    which calibre(or make) of  watch movement,  the chip tells the
    stepping motor to advance the hands. The accuracy of quartz is based
    on the fact that the rate of vibration is so consistent,regardless of
    most enviromental factors. Ed in Kokomo
