Naturally, the approach in solving the “quartz question” from different companies are different. “Only a small contingent of buyers prefer to watch solely for the mechanism. In this sense, the mechanical and quartz watches are not competitors. They just compliment each other. Quartz is a significant part of the history of watchmaking, the Girard-Perregaux which plays an important role. This company has created a standard rate of 32,768 Hz for a quartz watch in 1971 “- emphasizes Xavier Markle.
The price for Quartz watches luxury equals the price of middle-class mechanical watches. It is within the range of 6000 to 15.000 euros. In other words, the choice of hours often is caused by economic reasons, but simply a rational choice.
