Anything is better than the current LCD clocks. I think the peak of technology for digital were the LED ones. LCD uses much less power but the LED's were beautiful. Check ebay and you'll find the old LED Heathkit clocks sells for over $300.00 (the ones in synch with the atomic clock in Boulder). On a good day you can find a LCD one for less than a dollar.
The peak for anolog clocks were the ones that self corrected each hour. They were built by the International Tabulating Company. I am aware the a government agency that spent over a million dollars to get a system to synchronise their computer system with the atomic clock.
