The NIST F-1 is the atomic clock of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado.
Although it is very accurate (it loses about a second in 20 million years) it cannot compete with the Linnean flower clock.
The flower clock captures the beauty of change, whereas the F-1 only counts the oscillations of cesium atoms, which are not meant for the perception of the human eye.
However, for me the perfect description of time is the image below (Could be the marks of the Hershebian lawyer beetle).
