That's really nice, Volhout. :) It has a really cool retro look - glad you stuck with a red 7-seg display. :)

One of my digital clocks is one with a proper mains transformer (you can feel the weight). I suspect it's using mains frequency division as the frequency source as it never appears to drift at all when I compare it to a RF time signal clock. I know the RTC chips can be pretty accurate but I've rarely had one that didn't drift. Some of the little modules are pretty bad but you need a good frequency counter to set them up correctly.
