Precise nouns are clearly expressed of defined persons, places, things, or ideas. An example of a precise noun is using dog instead of animal, collie instead of dog, border collie instead of collie.
Very is normally used as an adverb, e.g. he was a very fast runner, maps are very popular with collectors. When used in this context it is called a degree adverb because it specifies the degree to which an adjective or another adverb applies (how fast? Very fast; how popular? Very popular).But very can also be used as an adjective to give extra emphasis, e.g, the very top ( = absolute); this very minute, her very words ( = precise; actual); the very tool, the very person, the very thing ( = most suitable; the item/person in question); the very thought ( = mere).

In the 1920's the first Quartz were invented. This works by applying a certain voltage and pressure inside the clock. This will vibrate or oscillate the Quartz at a constant rate. This vibration moves the hands on the clock in a very precise manner, making them very cheap and very accurate. These are the clocks are used everyday in our houses, offices and schools and in many cases wrists. There are other types of clocks, such as atomic clocks, but these are not widely used and are not yet perfected.
