Is there such a thing as a network-connected clock that syncs with NTP?

[Ben98SentraSE]

All of our computers at work sync via NTP over the internet. We have a clock in our lobby that we've gone by for years, but now that the computers are truly accurate, this clock is not. It is very close to the vaulted ceiling and is not easy at all to get to to adjust. I was wondering if anyone has heard of a network connected clock that you can give an IP address, default gateway, and NTP server to sync to? I did some web searching and came up empty handed. This could run via cable ethernet or 802.11 technology - either would be fine for me.

Thanks

Never heard of one although you can buy an atomic clock.

Just put a big plasma monitor up there hooked to a PC and display a big clock app!

Thanks for the link, aves2k. I didn't realize such a thing existed as this US-wide signal. One of those clocks would work perfectly! Now if only they could be set to Eastern Standard Time and NOT adjust for daylight savings (stupid Indiana! 🙂 ).

Why not have one machine sync to the naval observatory and the rest sync to it??

It is not entirely clear to me what you are looking for. I use a app from this site to sycn my computer to national time.

No, he wants an actual CLOCK that syncs via NTP or radio. His computers DO sync via NTP and now the clock in the lobby which does not is off.

speed01 and RossGr:

I am basically looking for a battery powered wall clock, preferably analog, that will stay accurate. An atomic clock like aves2k suggested will fit the bill perfectly, albeit the Indiana lack of observance of daylight savings time will pose an annoyance.
