WiFi Time Calibration: The Smart Heart of a Mechanical Clock

Once a mechanical clock is built, keeping it accurate usually requires manual adjustment. The Xiguizi clock changes that with WiFi time calibration. Once connected to a home network, it automatically queries NTP servers every night. If the internal counter differs from global atomic time by even a few seconds, the system runs a closed‑loop recalibration: all segments retract, sensors verify the zero position, and the correct time is redeployed. This process is silent and transparent to the user. The result is a hybrid device – the tactile soul of a traditional clock with the accuracy of a smartphone.
