How can I implement a clock that can be used to synchronize another clock?

You can use this 

Dynamic[Refresh[Now, UpdateInterval -> 1]] or 
Dynamic[Refresh[DateString[], UpdateInterval -> 1]]

I usually style the datestring to larger font and color.

Do you mean a Clock[] or an animated wall clock, or some other sort of clock, like a game clock? Why do you need two clocks: cannot the output of one clock be used in multiple places? Or is one a physical clock, controlled by Mathematica?

I have a clock that is not synchronized, so I need Mathematica to show me the current atomic time so that I can synchronize it.

I feel there is something probably still missing from the description of the problem, but when I want something to show me the time, I use a cell phone or maybe my computer's clock, which set their times from one of the NIST servers. In Mathematica you can use DateString[] or DateList[]. I don't know what its source is, maybe the computer's clock.

I just want Mathematica to get the atomic time from a server and display it in real time so that I can synchronize my watch on my wrist.

Why do you need Mathematica to do this? On a Linux or Mac OS shell

cat </dev/tcp/time.nist.gov/13

Your computer is probably set to synchronize its clock with NIST so you can just do this from the shell

I don't need that. I need real-time time.

What do you mean by "real-time time"?

I mean that the clock must update atomically.
