If you're on the lookout for your first watch, a quartz watch from Alba should be your first choice.
Quartz watches have an astonishing characteristic that makes them interesting - they are very accurate. These timepieces have an accuracy of plus or minus 10 to 15 seconds a month, meaning for the most part, they are some of the most precise watches you can own barring an atomic clock or some exotic mechanical movement.
Here we discover Alba watches running with excellent quartz movements you can use everyday.
How Quartz Watches Work
The quartz watch is really a genius production of a technological wizard. For the longest time, watches were mechanical, painstakingly engineered by masters of their craft. But because they required a lot of expertise to make it, they were very expensive.
Then a breakthrough happened in the 1960s. By attaching a battery to a quartz crystal, the energy produced creates a regular frequency that someone discovered you can track time with. The vibration from the quartz in turn sends a signal to a motor to move the parts required to tell time. This results in a highly accurate movement.
When this came out, it resulted in a seismic change in the watch world. A revolution that rocked the industry And driving that revolution was Seiko, Alba’s parent company.
And because quartz watches are easier to produce, they are really affordable. And right now, Alba watches offer some of the most stylish and budget friendly quartz watches.
