With an atomic clock, the time is kept by these radio signals between your clock and the equipment of atomic timekeeping nearby. Although this process has been emerged for more than a half century, it is available to the public at a reasonable price only for past few years.

Anyway, the atomic clock is the latest approach to keep accuracy in order to tell us precise time.
