Hi folks, Bill...Thanks for the additional information on the Junghans. I guess the answer to my question as to whether the clocks would work over here is yes. (they had better, for that price!). George...You know, I honestly don't remember if the Heathkit version has seconds in the readout or not. It's been years since I looked into their clock as a possibility. Take care, Jim Richardson Graceville, FL Richardson@DigitalExp.com
