High End Quartz??

I've often wondered why anybody would buy a high end watch such as Omega in a quartz version. Anybody can make a watch, slap a battery in it (or kinetic now) and have a watch that keeps near perfect time. To me, part of the beauty of a high end watch is the engineering marvel of it. To make an extremely precise, intricate piece of machinery that runs on pure mechanics and is small enough to wear on your wrist is quite a feat!

To use the old cliche, buying a quartz is like "kissing your sister".

That's my opinion. What does everyone else think?
