Release new atomic clock. Ground shaking consequences for Antique Jewellery Trade!

Antwerp, 13 April 2014 - Timekeeping, which was already a pretty precise science involving lasers and atomic particles, just got even more exact. A new atomic clock, so accurate it will lose or gain only one second every 300 million years, was unveiled Thursday by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce (source: CNN). "With the release of the new atomic clock not only can we measure more accurately the time we live in but it allows us to date the age of our Antique Jewellery more precisely," said Mr. Elkan Wijnberg, chief engineer at Adin's Institute of Styles, Standards and Technology. He continues: "Imagine the thrill we had when we realised that the Art Deco period was a staggering 0.00003 nanoseconds longer ago than we always thought." And he continues: "We are not 100% sure yet, and more tests have to be done, but we have strong indications that other styles are also importantly affected by this new clock. History books might have to be re-written!"
