Atomic Clock 12 Inch

Setting the wall clock after the power flickers or the seasons shift is an awkward chore. This radio-controlled piece listens for the official signal and resets itself, so nobody has to take it down from the wall. We have kept it in the WalterDrake pages for years because it stays accurate on its own.

Radio signal accuracy

The internal receiver catches daily updates automatically. It adjusts for daylight saving time in the spring and fall without anyone having to reach up and nudge the dial by hand.

Clear face markings

Bold dark numbers stand out against the white background. The hands are plain and broad, which makes the hour easy to read from across the kitchen or from a favorite armchair.

Standard wall mounting

It hangs flat against the wall on a sturdy back notch. The lightweight frame stays put over the hallway door, beside the refrigerator or above the basement workbench.

Single battery power

One standard battery runs the whole mechanism for months. You provide the single battery, hang the piece in place, and let the movement synchronize itself overnight.
