Unless you cock up the mechanical part. I have recently bought a bunch of cheap wall clocks for the house, thinking you cannot mess up a quartz resonator, right? Turns out, you can by improperly sizing electrical vs. mechanical counterparts. So one of the clocks is late by about 5 minutes per month, and the other one randomly stops, but only when hung on the wall. Works like clockwork for the past 4 months or so since I dumped it in the recycling pile. I guess, the impulses keep coming as you would expect them, just not all of them end up moving the hands.

The first quartz watch wasn't unveiled until 1969.

A high accuracy quartz watch is accurate to 10 seconds per year.

However, railroad standard was 4 seconds daily. That means that if a high accuracy quartz watch is never checked it may fail the standard within a year. However, a less accurate railroad chronometer will always be checked because it is less accurate.
