I was going to mention an Atomic Clock. I use one in an RV and it sets itself even outside of cell phone range. I know it uses a radio signal of some type but I have no idea how it works. It rights itself within a few minutes of time changes, battery loss, or the like.

It's fascinating reading if you're interested in finding out the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_(radio_station)

I’ve thought it’d be fun to find the chip used in those clocks, and integrate it into an offline microcontroller driven clock, but haven’t found the will to do so yet. I haven’t even looked for prior art, which I’m certain exists.

Or for Western Europe there is DCF77 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77
