Now that the mains (in the UK at least) has no guaranteed long-term 
accuracy (UK does not subscribe to UCTE), it makes far more sense to use a 
4060 & a 32,768Hz watch xtal - that gives you a 2Hz output that you can use 
a latch to divide by two to 1Hz - much more reliable... or to use a DS3231 
for even greater accuracy...

I spoke to mike about this clock some years back at a UK Teslathon - that's 
when he commented about not doing a design like this nowadays - he's a 
serious professional engineer (have you seen his massive polychromatic UFO 
flying over Rio de Janeiro & Gdansk?
