World's first atomic pocket watch — 'Will never gain or lose a second for 30 million years'*
From the website:
Atomic Pocket Watch
the only pocket watch that maintains its unerring accuracy by radio
signal from an atomic clock.
Providing accurate time across the entire
contiguous United States, it receives a time signal from the radio
clock transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado once a day, ensuring that
it will never gain or lose a second for 30 million years.
The case is
made from surgical-grade stainless steel; the watch face uses analog
hours and minute hands with an LCD that shows date and seconds (a press
of a button alternates between date and seconds).
The 14" stainless
steel chain terminates in a lobster-clasp.
2"Ø x 1/2"D.
*Assuming, of course, that the atomic clock in Fort Collins continues to send out a signal for the next 30 million years.
Me, I wouldn't count on it....
