Quartz Wall Clocks
A quartz wall clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic counts the cycles of this signal and provides a numeric time display, usually in units of hours, minutes, and seconds. Since the 1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.
This accurate timing device has been used in a wide range of wall clocks and kitchen clocks and has allowed these devices to be run from batteries, which makes them easily positioned anywhere in the home.
Many old clock designed such as this antique wall clock by Lascelles are now powered by batteries which make sure the clock keep its time accurate. It has all the features of an old clock but with all the benefits of being run by a quartz mechanism. They have also been used not just in small clocks, but they can manage the time for much larger clocks, ranging from 40cm all the way up to 100cm.
