Atomic clocks are great for people who need timepieces that are more accurate than any other timepieces in the world. Or for people with OCD. Or people who just like the word “atomic.” The idea of such a clock is amazing. Traditional clocks, however, can really set a warm tone in your house or office. There is something majestic about a clock. We take them for granted and make them out of plastic nowadays, but we shouldn’t forget what a technological marvel they still are. They must have bordered on magic a long time ago.
