I haven’t used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don’t seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

    May I ask year model?

    I’m almost certain that even with mechanical clock hands, it’s still almost certainly timed by a quartz crystal these days, and even for the past 30+ years.

    The quartz crystal is usually supposed to ‘tick’ at a rate of 32,768 cycles per second, but not all quartz crystal timers are made to perfect timing.
