Probably 30, but you dont need existing transistors needed to divide 60hz down to 1hz, so the change in parts count might be smaller.

Edit: Previously said 30, but it looks like its 60. Each JK flip flop takes 4 transistors.

Edit: Back to 30, the bistable circuit in the clock uses two transistors each.
