You would need to be at least experienced in electronics in order to
achieve this goal. You will not find a ready made, single chip
solution, perhaps the easiest way would be to use the sound card in
your computer!

Every digital approach would ask for at least some of the following:
-quartz oszillator
-frequency divider
-PLL
-control electronics
-display electronics
-output stage

You would be amazed what high stability you could actually achieve
with an analog RC oszillator. If you combine it with a frequency
counter with >1s gate time you would get 1Hz resolution on the
display... Instead of a NE555 you would probably go for a MAX038 or
XR2206 as central part of your design.
