That mechanical watches are more accurate than quartz watches, which is why they're so expensive. It's not even a close race.

When you buy a mechanical watch they warn you about the accuracy of a second a day.

But these watches are a mechanical masterpiece.

Like being proud enough of a "chronometer" certification to write it on the front face - congratulations on passing the -4 to +6 seconds per day test, Rolex!
