Cartier Trinity 100 Exhibition Celebrates Quartz Crystal

2024-07-19 // SuperPodium
Discover the revolutionary accuracy of Cartier watches and their quartz crystal mechanism at the Trinity 100 Exhibition.

The Cartier Trinity 100 Exhibition in Singapore celebrates the remarkable accuracy of Cartier watches, made possible by the revolutionary quartz crystal mechanism. Unlike mechanical and automatic watches, quartz watches utilize the piezoelectric properties of quartz to create precise and regular movements.

The quartz crystal mechanism is available in various models, catering to different tastes and styles. To understand its origins, we must go back to 1927 when Horton and Morrison invented the quartz movement. It took another twelve years for the mechanism to find practical application in calculation of time at the Greenwich Observatory in 1939. In the 1960s, advancements allowed for the development of smaller quartz mechanisms suitable for wristwatches, leading to the production of highly accurate timepieces.

So how does the quartz watch mechanism work? The mechanism relies on a small capsule containing a quartz crystal in the shape of a tuning fork and a battery. The battery transmits electric current to the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a frequency of 32,768 oscillations per second. This frequency sets the hands in motion, ensuring precise and constant movement.

When choosing a quartz watch, there are several factors to consider, including style, strap type, shape, color, materials, dial size, and the presence of additional functions such as date and chronograph. Budget and price-quality ratio are also important considerations.

Showcasing high-quality stainless steel watches with yellow or red PVD coating, Cartier offers an extensive range of options for both men and women. Men's watches feature strong, elegant lines and high performance, often with a round case and date display. For a sportier look, water-resistant models with a unidirectional rotating bezel are available. Cartier's long history and inimitable design contribute to the exceptional quality of their watches.

Visit the Trinity 100 Exhibition to explore Cartier's collection of accurate and stylish quartz watches.
