All watches and watches need a regularly moving object, called an oscillator, to ensure that the time they are keeping does not become erratic. A familiar example is the swinging pendulum of a grandfather clock. Clockwork-based watches use physical levers, springs and cogs working together to produce regular and precise rotation of the hands around the face of the watch.
All Toro Luna Watches use Japanese Quart Movement. Their oscillator is not a pendulum or spring, but the quartz crystal itself. The crystal vibrates in response to a small electric charge constantly applied to it. Scientists call the vibration the piezoelectric effect, and the amount of vibration can be very precisely known, allowing for extremely accurate time-keeping. The ear catching Tic-Toc is a sound that is attributable to humor when someone is slow, or when the presence of sound is absent.
The vibrations of the crystal send pulses to a circuit which count them and make the hands of the watch turn. Because no mechanical parts are ensuring the watch keeps time, watches with quartz mechanisms do not need to be wound.
