He eventually turned to the piezo-electrical crystal to develop the first quartz clock.

The next 3 decades saw the development of quartz clocks as precision time standards in laboratory settings; the bulky delicate counting electronics, built with vacuum tubes, limited their use elsewhere.

en.wikipedia.org

These quartz chronometers are not always the most accurate quartz clocks when no signal is received, and their signals can be lost or blocked.

en.wikipedia.org

A further emphasis of todays collection is on quartz clocks as well as everyday clocks.

en.wikipedia.org

Quartz clocks exploit the fact that quartz crystals vibrate at a very high frequency if the right electrical charge is applied to them.

The interior received a redesigned center console and a digital quartz clock.

Similarly, since its resonator does not change shape, a quartz clock will remain relatively accurate as the temperature changes.

en.wikipedia.org

This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than mechanical clocks.

en.wikipedia.org

The inherent accuracy and low cost of production has resulted in the proliferation of quartz clocks and watches since that time.

This added energy compensates for signal losses and allows surface plasmons to propagate freely along the waveguide, just like the energy supplied by a battery keeps a quartz clock ticking.
