VCR's were well known "to reliably read 12:00 throughout the year"...
Do you want to make or buy? Using a microprocessor, it's easy to drive a stepper-motor based wall clock at slight offsets from true 32 kHz or 1 Hz rate. Converting UTC/1PPS to solar rate and time for your given location and time of year is easy with an Arduino or RPi. You can double check the clock with a sundial. Add NTP and DUT1 corrections for sub-second accuracy. Add GPS if you want the clock to self-adjust when moved east or west (noon moves a couple of milliseconds per meter). This feature would be especially cool if the clock were used in a vehicle. /tvb (i5s) > On Jan 18, 2014, at 2:25 PM, "P Nielsen" <pniel...@tpg.com.au> wrote: > > I am looking for a physical clock (not software) that will indicate local > solar time.
