2. Astron (wristwatch) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astron_(wristwatch)

   The Astron was unveiled in Tokyo on December 25, 1969, after ten years of research and development at Suwa Seikosha (currently named Seiko Epson), a manufacturing company of Seiko Group. Within one week 100 gold watches had been sold, at a retail price of 450,000 yen ( US$1,250 (equivalent to $10,386 in 2023)) each (at the time, equivalent to ...

3. Radio clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

   A modern LF radio-controlled clock. A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an "atomic clock", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

4. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

   In laboratory settings atomic clocks had replaced quartz clocks as the basis for precision measurements of time and frequency, resulting in International Atomic Time. By the 1980s, quartz technology had taken over applications such as kitchen timers , alarm clocks , bank vault time locks , and time fuzes on munitions, from earlier mechanical ...

   In 2006, Seiko launched the world's first wristwatch based on microcapsule E-ink technology. This watch was the first Seiko watch to win an award at the Grand Prix de Genève for its innovative ability to bend the display part, in addition to providing more contrast and a wider viewing angle than conventional LCD displays.

   In 2013 Bathys Hawaii [51] introduced their Cesium 133 Atomic Watch [52] [53] [54] the first watch to keep time with an internal atomic clock. Unlike the radio watches described above, which achieve atomic clock accuracy with quartz clock circuits which are corrected by radio time signals received from government atomic clocks, this watch ...

7. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

   The development of atomic clocks has led to many scientific and technological advances such as precise global and regional navigation satellite systems, and applications in the Internet, which depend critically on frequency and time standards. Atomic clocks are installed at sites of time signal radio transmitters. [113]
