How Accurate Is Your Clock Movement?

by Jerry on May 8, 2008

radio controlled clock movementThese radio controlled clock movements may not look very impressive, but they’re certainly accurate – to within one second every million years!

The secret is the radio signal that it picks up four times a day, from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal resets the movement by tiny fractions of a second so your clock is as near right as humanly possible. It will even adjust itself for daylight savings.

This clock movement is maintenance free too – the only thing you’ll ever need to do is add a battery, and each of those should last about a year.

You’d probably expect it to be expensive. A radio controlled clock movement this accurate can’t be cheap, can it? Well in fact it can. While stocks last Clockparts have them for just $8.50 each – and if you buy 5 you get another FREE.

So although they’ll be right for a long time they may not be around for a long time – If you want some you better get over to Clockparts website now!
