Impressionism
Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterised by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.

Indexing (motion)
Indexing in reference to motion is moving (or being moved) into a new position or location quickly and easily but also precisely.

Mill (grinding)
A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting.
New!!: Ébauche and Mill (grinding) · See more »
Movement (clockwork)
In horology, a movement, also known as a caliber, is the mechanism of a clock or watch, as opposed to the case, which encloses and protects the movement, and the face, which displays the time.

Quartz crisis
The quartz crisis (also known as the quartz revolution) is a term used in the watchmaking industry to refer to the economic upheavals caused by the advent of quartz watches in the 1970s and early 1980s, which largely replaced mechanical watches.
