THE ATOMIC CLOCK
01 / ULTRA PRECISE
Your atomic clock will always show you the exact time - regardless of radio connection, internet etc.
The extremely small deviation of just one second in 3000 years would only be noticed by your descendants in 100 generations.
02 / ROBUST
Solid aluminum housing with no moving parts.
Multiple screwing of all components.
Robust stainless steel controls.
No wearing components.
03 / DURABLE
We only use carefully selected materials and components of the highest quality. Each component and your atomic clock as a whole are subject to the highest quality standards and constant quality controls.

About atomic clocks
The rubidium atomic clock
Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks in the world. In the true sense, they do not measure time directly, but rather an ultra-stable frequency. This frequency corresponds to an atomic transition, i.e. the transition of an electron into a different energy state in the atom. In the case of the rubidium atomic clock, this is the hyperfine transition with a frequency of exactly 6,834,682,610.904324 Hz. This frequency is so stable because it depends only on the electrical and magnetic properties of the atomic nucleus.
But how does frequency become time?
An ultra-precise counter works in your atomic clock from atomic-time.com, which counts all 6,834,682,610.904324 steps one second toggles. In combination with a perpetual calendar, this counter enables the correct time and date to be displayed at all times - regardless of radio, Internet or other external sources!
synchronization
Since the atomic clock would start counting from 0 every time it was restarted, a one-time synchronization with the time of up to 57 GPS satellites is required. Each of these satellites also has a rubidium atomic clock, which means that the synchronization provides the ultra-precise time and date. This synchronization is fully automatic by pressing the S button once.
time zone
The surface of the earth is divided into 37 time zones. You have the ability to switch between these zones at any time with a simple push of a button.
leap second
The perpetual calendar built into your atomic clock takes into account all upcoming leap years. It is therefore never necessary to adjust the date! However, since our time on earth is linked to the day and night times of the planet, it is inextricably linked to the rotation of the earth's body, which weighs more than five trillion billion tons. Due to many influences, such as tidal friction, this rotation is not uniform and also not predictable. Since the invention of atomic clocks, it has been possible for humans to measure these small deviations and correct them on the time scale. For this purpose, the leap seconds were introduced in 1972, which are defined by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig. Namely, after 23:59:59 of the days mentioned, an additional second is inserted at 23:59:60 before the clock advances to 00:00:00 of the following day. With your atomic clock from ATOMIC-TIME.com, a leap second can be inserted at any time using the buttons on the clock front. You can always find one herecurrent list of leap seconds since 2020:
There hasn't been a leap second since January 1st, 2017.
