The ultimate in wall clocks with atomic wall clocks

atomic wall clocks > Find clocks, from an atomic to zen clock


Modern atomic wall clocks look like any of the wall clocks our parents proudly shared with us, when as kids, they displayed them in a prominent place on the walls.

Back then, they did not have atomic wall clocks so they may have displayed other types such as antique or vintage wall clocks or even musical wall clocks.

Today however, a vast range of modern or contemporary wall clocks like the cat wall clock type or brands like seiko and bulova wall clocks can now be found in several homes.

But the ultimate wall clock to have nowadays on your home or office wall is one of the atomic wall clocks, which offer remote controlled precision time from NIST.

It is not uncommon to find atomic wall clocks with thermometers built into them. This type of bundling allows you to not only tell the right time, but also the correct room temperature.

Some atomic wall clocks may even come with their own remote control to allow you to zap it's alarm settings without moving an inch, an added bonus for the infirm person.

Feel free to discover your favourite - atomic wall clock they are so accurate!

Atomic clocks burst into the clock world three decades after quartz technology had revolutionalised the clock industry. The cesium atom's natural frequency was formally recognized as the new international unit of time in 1967:

This led to the timekeeping performance of quartz clocks been substantially surpassed by atomic clocks.

How is this possible? Simple, atoms make up a potential "pendulum" which has a reproducible rate that sets the standard and it is transmitted via microwave and satellite technology for much better accurate clocks.

This led to the creation in 1972 of the International (UTC) Universal Time Co-ordinating Center

Today the Atomic Clock Systems from over 25 countries World-Wide and the USA, feed continous data to the UTC.

In the US, Radio signals beamed from the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado are received by Atomic clocks sold in the USA.

When the atomic clock is set once, it functions within the four time zones of the continental United States only, which will keep your atomic clock accurate to within a second over a million years. Never will you have to reset your atomic clock again, even for daylight-savings time, it's all done for you automatically.

Although, today different Clock manufacturers have produced many types of Atomic Clocks the atomic principles behind them are very similar.

There are now three main types of atoms for atomic clocks:

  1. cesium atoms using different levels of energy in a field of magnets.
  2. hydrogen atoms using a special walled container to retain the high state of energy.
  3. rubidium gas absorbs light, at optical frequency involving the right surrounding microwave frequency,

The most accurate and precise atomic clocks manufactured today use the cesium atom technology.

Due to the maintenance free and perfect time precision of the atomic clocks, they are in our books the ultimate clocks or clock to have in this day and age.
