ABSTRACT:
A low cost, remotely resettable wall clock or the like is provided, which is driven by a conventional quartz crystal oscillator system, for example. On a once a day basis, a reset signal is received from a local broadcast station, which serves to reset the clock to a predetermined reset time, typically 02:00:00 am. The system includes means for automatic startup of the clock without setting of the hands, eliminating the need for mechanical reset facilities. The control system includes means for automatically advancing or retarding the clock reset by one hour, to accommodate the beginning or the end of day light saving time. The economical design of the clock system enables it to be suitable for household as well as commercial use.
