It may look conventional,
even classic, but this new wall chronometer receives longwave radio signals
from a special station, WWVB, on which the U.S.
National Institute of Standards and Technology transmits time signals
to atomic accuracy (that is, referenced to nine billion vibrations per
second). The result is that you just set your time zone, and this clock
will take care of the rest, even Daylight Savings Time adjustments and
leap seconds. It’s said to work most everywhere in North America
and well offshore. The Porthole model shown has a six-inch dial and costs
$200.
