A while ago I tried to measure the phase difference between two of my Rubidium ones

I would like to try that again at some point, if I can fix one of my clocks again, as I don't think I got the timebase setting right.
As an aside the light from the rubidium bulb, glows a really nice purpleish colour :)
I'm sure I read that there are now atomic clocks, which are so accurate, they 'tick' at different rates, depending on their height in a room.
This is what I was thinking of:

It seems it's an Optical Lattice Clock.
