How does a quartz clock keep time?

A quartz clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by aquartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic counts the cycles of this signal and provides a numeric time display, usually in units of hours, minutes, and seconds. Quartz timekeepers are the world's most widely-used timekeeping technology, used in most clocks and watches, as well as computers and other appliances that keep time.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock
