I absolutely love the MB&F & L'Epée 1839 clocks they come out with from time to time
They're just so fun and cool

NIST runs three radio stations, WWV, WWVH, and WWVB
You've probably not heard of them, but you could well have used them before
They broadcast a time signal to the vast majority of North America, this time signal allows clocks, watches, and all kinds of other things to synchronise with an accurate time
Due to budget cuts they're planning to shut these down in 2019, meaning anything that uses the system won't be getting an accurate time any more and will need to be set manually
Which sucks
