For $555 you can buy an atomic clock

It's a rubidium atomic clock that drifts up to 1.5usec per day:
http://www.microsemi.com/document-portal/doc_download/133364-sa-31m-sa-33m-sa-35mNo, I don't yet have an application in mind for this, but I was surprised to learn that such devices even existed. I imagine the price will continue to drop....
Using a sync pulse from a GPS is, I suppose, more practical for most things we'd even contemplate doing, and certainly much cheaper.
Anyhow, $555 is the asking price at Digikey, though it's not something they stock.
