Notes

Autoquartz One of the latest developments in quartz technology, this movement combines traditional automatic winding by an oscillating rotor weight with a modern quartz movement. The energy provided by the spinning rotor is not used to wind the mainspring, but instead stored in a "capacitor" and then used to power the functions for keeping the time.
