In the "more than you want to know" answer category, the kind of clock you
want is one of the relatively new radio-controlled, synched to WWVB. We have
these in almost every room of AICS and I think they're really quite nice.
Even more than that, they're more accurate than anything synched to an NTP
server, in that there is less propagation delay.

For more information, see:

All of our clocks are from Radio Shack, although we have bought my
father-in-law a really nice radio-controlled wristwatch as well that works on
the same principle. All of these clocks attempt to resynch to the WWVB signal
six times a day.
