[QUOTE="Harte, post: 193664, member: 443"] Crystals in watches are quartz. Quartz crystals have [URL='https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/clocks-watches/quartz-watch2.htm']piezoelectric properties[/URL]. If you squeeze a quartz crystal, you can get an electron out of it. Conversely, if you send an electron into a quartz crystal, the crystal will change shape. This converse (second, above,) property of piezoelectricity is used to turn an electrical pulse from the watch circuit into mechanical motion via the change in shape of the quartz crystal. That's eventually what moves the watch hands. The quartz pulses at a cetain, highly accurate frequency and this controls the circuit that moves the watch time forward. Pretty darn mundane, in the end. Crystals have no measurable effect on anything else. Space-time bending machines are fantasy. Harte [/QUOTE]
