Every video I see on some introduction to time-keeping history says things changed when quartz was discovered. I remember commercials for watches actually bragging in marketing campaigns about quartz time-keeping or whatever it is called. I don’t know what about quartz (is it an element) made it so important for keeping accurate time.
Also, I wasn’t sure what flair to put this under. I can add another if someone has a better suggestion.

just to add to the other answers here, personally i love mechanical timekeeping and find it incredibly interesting and satisfying, but the quartz technology is just on another level of awesome clever sciency-ness
