Ok, so everyone has already pointed out the fallacy of calling it "the fastest clock", what's left for me? Do I ask if it has a radio? If it's a pain in the ass to program the alarm? How you re-set it correctly after the power goes out? s**t. That's what I get for showing up late.
Its actually not the fastest or most accurate.Fastness is a measure of speed and therefore a fast clock would show a second pass faster than an actual second for example.Accuracy is a measure of how correct something is. The most accurate clock would probably be an atomic clock somewhere. Precision is a measure of how exact something is. While I can't say if there is a more precise clock or not, the claim they are trying to make is "The Most Precise Clock in the World".
If it just so happened to be located on the fastest object on earth (or at least the fastest object with an accurate clock on board) then I guess it technically could due to relativity./I feel nerdy

So you'd be pissed if someone gave you a Rolex?
