OK this defines your require accuracy very well.  ideally are required
to be without 1/2 second per day of the WWVB time.  Actually few of
them are that good.  There s a document on the WWV web site that
explains it.     But for your purposes then 1/10 of a second is "good
enough".

I think you can do just fine without GPS and  GPSDXO oscillators and
the like.  NTP over the Internet is an order of magnitude better then
you need.    Even if the Internet service is disconnected now and
then.

 Your only remaining task is to write a function that transforms UTC
time to your own desired time.  Run that inside a loop and you are
done.    Zero total cost (assuming the internet connection is already
paid for)
