Quartz now can reach 1 second per year level with the new Citizen movement. Or, if you want something more affordable, 5 seconds a year with the Longines VHP for ~$700.

But mechanical is beautiful in its own right. You have a tiny machine on your wrist, powered by a spring and gears, with 200+ parts and a balance wheel that oscillates anywhere from 18k to 36k times an hour. You can run with it, swim with it, climb mountains with it, and the best will only be off by 2-3 seconds per day, which is pretty incredible. If you take care of it it'll last for generations, if not forever, while quartz is basically disposable.
