>The atomic resonator is set to atomic time, but periodically the atomic physics unit will check to ensure that atomic time is properly locked: when this happens an oven will fix the ideal temperature, the internal laser will strike, the microwave resonator will reach oscillation and atomic time will be locked in.

There's an oven and a laser in that little watch??




They're really quite large, compared to most watches.


But compared to most radioactive-powered devices, they would be quite small, no?
