My analog clocks with just quartz crystals don't keep time to within a second over the relevant interval. The ones with WWVB receivers in them do a little dance every night when nobody is watching and the signal is strong, and that dance looks a lot like the handling of a leap second.
Yeah, it's very cool. If you use a magnetic or acoustic pick-up you can monitor those watches. See: http://leapsecond.com/pages/Junghans/ It is lucky for wristwatches that they are leap second immune by virtue of their inherent inaccuracy. Too bad PC's can't be treated the same way! /tvb _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
