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
