    piezo crystal is electric motor. you input deformation of the crystal and get potential difference on opposite sides. other way around also works

      Oh! Gotcha! Makes sense. Forgot about crystal vibrations for clockworks. Thanks!

        it’s a special case there, because for frequencies in question mechanical quartz resonator has much higher Q than any electrical resonator you can practically build. that is, mechanical properties of piezo crystal stabilize voltage oscillations
