While mechanical watches push the boundaries of art and engineering, high accuracy quartz watches push the boundaries of technology. Designed specifically to present near perfect accuracy, these watches are rated at having a minimum variance of plus or minus 10 seconds a year.
That’s plenty accurate for most, but the watch industry wouldn’t be where it is now if it wasn’t continuously pushing for new innovations to perfect itself.Įnter the world of High Accuracy Quartz (HAQ) watches. Quartz watches don’t quite have the romance that mechanical watches bring, but they’re also generally much cheaper – and have a variance of about plus or minus 15 seconds a month. Yet there’s something about a watch that is just exceptional at doing the job it was built and designed to do. At a distant third is a time piece’s most obvious use: to tell the time.Īs watch enthusiasts, we’re enamored by the art and engineering of mechanical watch movements and we’re perfectly capable of justifying the fact that they could lose up to thirty seconds a day.
Added prestige and distinction comes a close second.
Ask this question to different people, and you’ll get different answers. No introduced harmonic or dynamic distortion.It’s a relatively simple question, and to watch enthusiasts, one that sounds borderline ridiculous but the world of wristwatches has never been that cut-and-dry.32-bit internal precision with zero latency and low CPU consumption.High-pass and low-pass filters for spectrum edges.Stereo and dual-mono operating modes, either Mid/Side or Left/Right.Functions and ranges optimized for subtle equalization tasks.7 parametric minimum-phase filters per channel, 5 of them are peak, 2 are shelf.There is no hidden processing going on underneath it’s surface – what you see is what you get. The main difference from other, standard EQs is that MQ57 has all controls and functions optimized for mastering needs, i.e., it has relatively wide Q factors that focus on overall balance rather than narrow cuts and boosts, moderate gain ranges for fine-tuning and functions such as channel balance and spectrum tilting. It is powerful, but quite easy to use after you understand what each knob and button does, so learning curve should be very mild for everyone who grasps basic principles of equalization. MQ57 is a parametric equalizer designed for mastering.
