Root797354yCheap timing crystals change frequencies when subjected to heat (for some duration). So you could take the batteries out and bake them for a little while.
I forget if it increases or decreases the frequency, however. -
If they're radio controlled, you can reasonably easily override that signal... 😇

kamen69174y@Demolishun It would still be kind of an overkill to do it this way. Why don't you just put both of them an hour ahead when no one is looking?

@lobelt You realize even geared clocks operate the same way right? They have a spring, the spring provides force, this force overcomes a threshold and provides a tick. The function of the crystal is the same. It provides a pulse to a set of gears. Once per second.
The more expensive clocks have continuous motion. Not sure if they use smaller ticks or some other tech.
When I say analog clock I am talking about the dial being analog. An actual moving set of dials that rotate around an axis. I don't really care how the internals works.

Make the analog clocks at work run faster. Might be able to do this with changing the timing crystal. Depends upon the clock I guess.
