How To Choose A Quartz Wall Clock

There are many types of wall clocks today from which to choose in all styles and price ranges.

We will cover the different types of Quartz clocks to help you understand how they are made and the differences in design.

What is a Quartz Wall Clock?

Quartz wall clocks are the most accurate home wall clocks today where the time is regulated by a quartz crystal oscillator inside the movement. The quartz crystal oscillator creates a signal at a precise frequency of 32768 times each second making it very accurate. Quartz movements found in these clocks can be made in a wide variety of quality. 

How long do wall clock batteries last?

A new fresh Alkaline battery should last well over 3-4months in a wall clock. It is always a good idea to check for battery leakage when you change the clock for Daylight Saving Time third a year.

What is an Analog Wall Clock?

An Analog Wall Clock is simply a clock that has hands to indicate the time which is usually powered by a Quartz movement installed in the clock. 

How quartz clocks work

The trouble with pendulum clocks and ordinary watches is that you have to keep remembering to wind them. If you forget, they stop—and you have no idea what time it is. Another difficulty with pendulum clocks is that they depend on the force of gravity, which varies very slightly from place to place; that means a pendulum clock tells time differently at high altitudes from at sea level! Pendulums also change length as the temperature changes, expanding slightly on warm days and contracting on cold days, which makes them less accurate again.

Quartz watches solve all these problems. They are battery powered and, because they use so little electricity, the battery can often last several years before you need to replace it. They are also much more accurate than pendulum clocks. Quartz watches work in a very different way to pendulum clocks and ordinary watches. They still have gears inside them to count the seconds, minutes, and hours and sweep the hands around the clockface. But the gears are regulated by a tiny crystal of quartz instead of a swinging pendulum or a moving balance wheel. Gravity doesn't figure in the workings at all so a quartz clock tells the time just as well when you're climbing Mount Everest as it does when you're at sea.

In theory, it works like this:

Battery provides current to microchip circuit

Microchip circuit makes quartz crystal (precisely cut and shaped like a tuning fork) oscillate (vibrate) 32768 times per second.

Microchip circuit detects the crystal's oscillations and turns them into regular electric pulses, one per second.

Electric pulses drive miniature electric stepping motor. This converts electrical energy into mechanical power.

Electric stepping motor turns gears.

Gears sweep hands around the clockface to keep time.

the advantages of the quartz clock

BENEFITS AND IMPORTANCE OF HAVING ANALOG CLOCK WITH QUARTZ MOVEMENT:

Watches with quartz movement have fewer moving parts and because they are battery powered and they endure for long, very little maintenance is required for them. There are so many advantages or benefits an analog clock wearer can get. They are:

MAINTENANCE FREE:

Precision of quartz movement is the biggest advantage of all other movements. A high-quality quartz movement barely changes its direction from the exact time; it will be like only about 1-2 seconds. Its frequency is held by methods for a Schwingquarzes that goes about as a clock. Moreover, the time can be estimated precisely. Likewise, quartz clockes instead of mechanical clockes don't require too much maintenance.

BATTERY LIFE ENDURANCE:

Quartz clockes, for being battery-powered, are practically very economical and the life of the battery is high as well.

CHEAP:

Quartz clockes, unlike the mechanical or automatic clockes, are less expensive as they require less watch making hours and skills as well.

EASY TO USE:

As these clockes are battery-controlled, they do not need human mediation for ticking continuously.

WATCH DURABILITY:

An analog clock with a quartz movement possesses a very few moving parts that may need improvisation. That is why it is more durable than a mechanical movement.

RELIABLE:

However, luxury clockes wearers prefer mechanical movements in their clockes; quartz watches are mostly preferred for their accurate function and reliability.
