French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history (usa.watchpro.com)

A French company (SilMach) backed by Timex Group is claiming to have opened a new chapter in watchmaking with the creation of a silicon motor that matches the accuracy of quartz-based movements with the elegance of a mechanical watch’s sweeping hands.

French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history

The 'ticking' is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to 'ticking quartz watches', a non-ticking quartz watch

But the ticking has nothing to do with quartz. One can use quartz oscillator with that silicon motor, for example.

Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.

Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick
