We have these kinds of clocks all over our lab. Typically they run on IRIG. But if you are only showing seconds the 60Hz wall frequency is more than good enough and they sell 6 digital clocks at Wallmart.
An easy clock might be an way-old notebook PC. Even one that uses a 486 processor or an old Apple G3 or G4 macbook. Run NTP on the computer and run a system clock display that fills the screen. This can easily run at the millisecond level or uS level with effort. Computers like this are typically salvage from dumpsters and are mostly free.
