Atomic Radio Control Clocks
Radio controlled clock from serendipity-gifts.co.uk
We’ve all done it. Whether it’s ‘spring forward’ or ‘fall back’, it is so easy to forget to reset your clock and find yourself embarrassingly out of sync with the rest of the world.
Perhaps you woke up in the morning and went through your morning routine of getting ready for school, only to show up to an empty parking lot and locked school doors and realizing that the building hasn’t opened yet because classes don’t start for an hour! Or, even worse, you have been an hour late for work and walk in nonchalantly, and it is only when you see the unhappy look on the face of your boss when you realize the mistake you have made! Thankfully, there is no excuse anymore for such a time-blunder, thanks to radio controlled clocks.
When the first radio controlled clocks came out in the 1980s they were very large and expensive. However now compact radio controlled clocks are available in a number of designs suitable for home use and are quite affordable. Radio controlled clocks are not very much more expensive than regular clocks, and you can find some at a comparable price. They are quite an amazing and very accurate piece of time keeping technology.
Radio controlled clocks are synchronized by a time code bit stream from a time standard such as an atomic clock. The clock receives regular time and date updates through the air, via a constantly broadcast long wave radio signal. This means that your clock will always state the correct time and you will never have to remember to alter it again, or wonder if it is accurate. Your radio clock will correct itself every time the time is adjusted for daylight savings time. Radio clocks that are synchronized with terrestrial time signals are usually accurate to around 1 millisecond!
Many different types of clocks can be radio controlled, such as alarm clocks, wall clocks, mantel clocks, battery operated clocks and even wristwatches. If all clocks in your house are radio controlled, you will no longer have the annoying discrepancies between them, such as when the clock in the kitchen is five minutes faster than the one in your bedroom! There is never any guessing or resetting with a radio controlled clock, you can always be sure that you have the accurate time.
So if you struggle with remembering to reset your clocks in the spring and autumn, or you simply want to be assured that you have the accurate time, you might consider switching your household over to radio controlled clocks. They don’t look any different from other types of clocks, and there are many styles to choose from, so you will be able to find something that fits with the decor of your home.
