3. Jewel bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_bearing

   In modern quartz watches, the timekeeper is a quartz crystal in an electronic circuit, powering a small stepper motor. Because of the small amount of torque needed to move the hands, there is almost no pressure on the bearings and no real gain by using a jewel bearing, hence they are not used in a large proportion of quartz movements.

   Many parts were gradually improved to increase isochronism, and eventually the fusee became unnecessary in most timepieces. The invention of the pendulum and the balance spring in the mid-17th century made clocks and watches much more isochronous, by making the timekeeping element a harmonic oscillator , with a natural "beat" resistant to change.

[ 8 ] [ 9 ] The term originated because, before the modern form of keyless works was invented by the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe in 1843, watches were wound and set by inserting a ...
