Quartz crystal

Type of crystal used in watches, computers and other devices to keep time. The Quartz crystal vibrates or ticks an exact 60-seconds per minute when electricity is applied to it. Depending upon the quality of the quartz crystal and other factors, the quartz crystal may not properly tick exactly 60 seconds each minute, possibly causing a computer to not keep the proper time.
