At the very heart is a piece of crystal that vibrates at a very precise frequency when an electric potential is placed across it. The microprocessor counts these pulsations and there-by keeps time. The microprocessor utilizes a binary counter which is a collection of transistors arranged into logical devices and memory storage units that keep track of the logical progression of the counting.
