Who said quartz watch passed away, mechanical forever? Although this seems to be the whole of Switzerland’s voice after a quartz watch set of the resurrection, but in fact, silica had never been out of the market, otherwise it has a great trend of strong return.

The develop of quartz watch

As early as 1969, the Swiss Association for Research design the first quartz watch, but the major Swiss watch factory decision makers did not correctly predict the prospects for the development of quartz technology, also do not want to emotionally give up the advantage established by the mechanical table, so they do not give enough attention to quartz watch. Japanese companies are promising that the quartz technology, they buy a Swiss patent invention of quartz, quartz table for mass production, making the rapid rise of the Japanese watch industry, resulting in hundreds of Swiss watch factory was closed down – this the Swiss watch industry has long been lingering pain.

Quartz watch battle between east and west

Most of the times was forced by the Swiss watch business since 1962 jointly commissioned by the Swiss watchmaking Institute of Technology and electronic form technology center to quartz technology development. To 1970, CEH has been to see the fruits of R & D, the first available after the original quartz watch, CEH to market as quickly as possible; Meanwhile, Japan is also the quartz watch manufacturer original Chengjiao Neuchatel Observatory test things cristobalite table imminent war. Although the end result is the outcome of their own; Although today’s market has returned to the table-driven mechanical trends, but had wanted to come so far that thrilling battle for the industry to the heart is still uneasy, do not know when history will repeat itself.

The GP-Perregaux quartz watch

Quartz watch in 2010, did play a nice turnaround. Among these, the most striking is GP-Perregaux. Although the GP-Perregaux self-made mechanical movement known altar table, but the quartz watch technology R & D contribution to long stay in the same legacy.

The advantages of quartz watch

Contrast mechanical and quartz watch, some advantages of quartz are very clear, for example, without the chain, the battery can provide enough power, accurate time, the basic error of the year is not more than 1 second; movement slim, suitable for assembly on the small ladies watches; anti-collision and strong, not because of the strong parts loosening caused by shock.
