Clock Lord

When purchasing a new clock the design and visual appeal are important, but the most crucial element of any timepiece is keeping good time. Analog and digital clocks do an adequate job, but atomic clocks keep the most accurate time known to man. These clocks are so accurate that they are the measure used to set standard times around the world. Atomic clocks use the signals that electrons in atoms emit to maintain the most precise time measurements imaginable.

Because of their accuracy, atomic clocks are used in a variety of ways including the control of TV signals and coordination of satellites. This amazing technology is now available in home clock models, which have built in receivers that calibrate themselves with an atomic clock. Although many of these models are advertised as “atomic clocks,” it really just indicates the way in which they are calibrated.

Despite the implications of the title of this post, it’s not about an office that uses nuclear power, emits radiation, or has radioactive waste!  No, instead we’re talking about the importance of having an atomic clock in the office.  How often do those employees sneak out a few minutes early, or come in a few minutes late?  With certain clocks, this can be happening and supervisors won’t even know it!  It’s important to have an atomic wall clock in the office to maintain an accurate gauge of the time, and to monitor all those people who show up late or leave early just a little too often. 

Who knows, you might even catch a time culprit you never would have suspected.  It’s also good to have an atomic wall clock so that those tricky employees can’t set it a few minutes faster or slower for their own benefit!
