D.E Protzmann and others also patented another digital watch in 1970, which came to use a minimum amount of moving parts. -
Atomic Clock
The Atomic Clock began to develop in 1946. It has great precision, its margin of error is one second every 300 years. It is the most accurate of all the watches that exist so far. -
