Quartz crystal is among the most commonly used crystals, with popular applications including watch making. In modern watches, a quartz crystal is used to measure time, as the oscillation of electricity, when run through quartz, is constant. This provides an advantage over mechanical timepieces in terms of accuracy and cost savings (although without the exclusivity of a mechanical movement).
