You want accurate?  Go to any number of stores and buy one of the BIG "atomic" digital clocks that automatically synchronize to WWVL!

Amazon.com has a good selection of 12 and 24 hour clocks in both analog and digital formats.  Most of them run on one or two AA or C cells, and will typically run for 1 to 2 years on a battery.   If changing batteries bugs you, you could rig up a small power supply, possibly from a re-purposed  "wall wart".
