The Search for simplicity

Being an avid (but lazy) watch collector with many mechanical watches, I would often look down at my wrist and find the incorrect time, and date.

I found myself searching for the simplicity of a "grab and go" watch that I could take anywhere without having to worry about frequent winding or setting - but I couldn't find the right quartz watch.

Born out of a passion project to design the perfect everyday quartz watch, HZ watches was founded with a vision to create high quality (and affordable) watches that celebrate quartz innovation.

Why 32,768 Hz?

In 1880, scientists discovered that quartz crystals vibrate when exposed to an electrical current.

Most quartz watches are designed to consistently vibrate at a frequency of 32,768 times per second. The electronic circuit within the movement will count the number of vibrations per second, and send an electrical impulse to the motor every 32,768 vibrations, which moves the second hand forward by one second - creating an extremely accurate movement.
