A tecnologia de quartzo está perdendo sua reputação negativa no mundo da relojoaria à medida que grandes marcas adotam movimentos movidos a bateria e energia solar.
A mudança começou com o lançamento do Astron da Seiko em 1969, que inicialmente ameaçou os relojoeiros mecânicos suíços. Ao longo de 57 anos, o quartzo evoluiu para uma história de precisão e praticidade, agora adotado por marcas como Cartier e TAG Heuer tanto para relógios utilitários quanto para modelos sociais.
