Best Answer

A quartz crystal can be induced by an electrical current to vibrate. This property is used to provide a signal to drive the mechanism of a watch. The frequency of the vibration can be set by the correct cutting of the crystal's size and shape, and is highly accurate and stable. By choosing the appropriate frequency of the crystal [usually in the hundreds of thousands of cycles per second [measured as 'hertz'] and dividing this frequency down to one per second a signal can be made to drive a motor or electronic display etc. once per second with great accuracy.
