Having just completed our survey here of James Bond watches and the Quartz Revolution, the time seems right (no pun intended) for a video released just a few months ago which does a marvelous job of explaining just how they work.

More than just technically accurate, the presentation here is both engaging and well produced.

“The Engineer Guy” here is Bill Hammack, with the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, University of Illinois, at Urbana.

A separate entry to this discussion (previously references on the James Bond Watch Docket for Mobile readers), an episode of Deconstructed on The Science Channel does an equally fine job of brining the novice up to speed — without sacrifice to experts’ interests.

That video can be seen online, or downloaded from iTunes under Deconstructed, Volume 1.
