Quartz movement

Quartz movement first started off with the quartz clock. In the early 20th century, the first quartz clock was designed; however, the first one was built near around the 1950s. Ten years later, the first quartz movements for watches were made by a Swiss watch company. That was the inception of the success of the concept of quartz movement.

Now, you must be wondering, what is quartz movement? Every quartz watch contains a paper thin piece of synthetic quartz, which is called the oscillator. This oscillator vibrates very quickly and allows the watch to work at the right pace. This is the reason for its accuracy and steadiness and thus, the watch shows the exact time.

Chronograph

The combination of a stopwatch and a normal watch is what you mean when you refer to a watch being a chronograph. This means that you can count a particular time period, start the watch, stop it when you want and then again reset it. The very complicated mechanism needs a huge background of knowledge and expertise in engineering to fully understand it.

The concept of chronograph came to being back in 1821. It was Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec for King Louis XVIII who invented it. The royal roots of the chronograph are almost forgotten today yet this special type of watch is a very popular accessory not only for athletes but also to fashion-conscious people who appreciate the modern design of the dial.
