And I mean REALLY exact.

The sites listed above are all good sites. However, remember the time it takes to send data through the internet. For example, time.gov lists the time accurate to within 0.3 seconds (for me). If you are measuring the time to within tenths of seconds, this would not be exact for your purposes. Exact in science is a measure of how far off something is allowed to be and still be considered "correct". More often, it is listed as it is on the time.gov site (accurate within so much time). If tenths of seconds matter to you, the internet is probably not the place to go.

Below is a link to the US Naval Observatory atomic clock. I have also provided the link to the Royal Observatory. Keep on time.

Atomic clocks are calibrated to the rate of decay for radioactive elements. They are extremely accurate. See: http://tycho.usno.navy.mil

This one's the best I could find:
http://www.time.gov/
It's the "Official US Time" website--and now I'm just hoping you're in the US. :-)
