The UAE’s most accurate timepiece, against which all clocks in the UAE are measured, lies in a lab at the Emirates Metrology Institute in Abu Dhabi.It will continue to record time accurately for more than 300,000 years. If there is a power cut, there are three servers to back it up.

Its accuracy is to more than 1,000 nanoseconds — “0.1 pico,” clarifies Waleed Al Kalbani, head of the Electrical, Time and Frequency laboratory.Less than a second off would spell disaster as planes, car radars and even the UAE Space Agency have time set against this clock.
