    A way to keep a reasonable check is to use a PC with the time synchronised
    from a server.
    There are programs like "Speaking clock" which will announce the time each
    minute,starting the announcement more or less at the start of each minute.
    The sound card output is connected to a radio headphone set to enable remote
    monitoring.
    I do not know of a reliable radio source, even  if one used the longwave
    transmissions they do not announce the time.
    
    A fiddly solution?
