Quartz - 19th century ????
Quartz is used in electronic devices to provide a stable oscillating frequency. This is put to use in modern electronic watches to help maintain the correct time in what is often referred to as quartz watches. 19th century and quartz timed electronic driven watches do not compute.
Seiko introduced the world's first quartz watch in 1969. 69 years after the end of the 19th century.

Here is an illustration of quartz crystals packaged for electronic timing

Not sure that it is Quartz as there is a winding key stub at 12 O'Clock at :10 sec. Didn't see any writing indicating "Quartz" either but may be blind in one eye and can't hear out of the other with my trifocals. To me the bigger Question is Why the pistol shape...the Gaudiness, fits the period though. Probably a misinformation gif the ThinkBot didn't fact check or misinterpreted??

Seiko's are the best for the price IMHO. Had my first self wind in 65' and only had 2 other brands (1 Gshock and a Timex Calculator) since and have a Solar Seiko now almost 6 years. Most lasted at least 5 years before I broke them...one in a bike accident and were accurate to about a minute a month.
