1. Radio technology -The most up-to-date way to keep time

5,000 years have passed since timekeeping began with sundials. In the inte-
37
rim there have been water clocks, the mechanical clocks of the 13
38
and quartz watches. Now we have the radio-controlled watch.

A watch that in good reception conditions never goes wrong and never has
41
to be set. The Junghans radio-controlled watch is absolutely precise, as it is
42
linked by radio frequency to the time control systems of the most accurate
44
44 clocks in the world.

45 For Europe this is the Caesium Time Base at the Physikalisch-Technischen
Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig (Germany's Institute of Natural and
47
Engineering Sciences).

For North America it is the U.S. Commerce Department's Caesium Time Base
52
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder,
53
Colorado.

56
57 For Japan the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication's Caesium Time Base
58 at the Commercial Research Laboratory (CRL).

All of these clocks are so accurate, that they are expected to deviate by no
62
more than 1 second in a million years.
