All clocks can be compared for accuracy against the atomic clocks maintained by the US Naval observatory and National Bureau of Standards and (I beleive) the European Space Agency. Atomic clocks are almost more accurate than we can test them to be,

What is the most accurate clock in the world and how does it maintain such precision?

The most accurate clock in the world is the atomic clock, which uses the vibrations of atoms to keep time. It maintains precision by measuring the frequency of electromagnetic radiation emitted by atoms, such as cesium or rubidium, which are known to vibrate at a constant rate. This allows the atomic clock to keep time with incredible accuracy, losing only a second every few million years.
