Monochron timebase
Looking at the schematic, I'm not seeing a timebase other than the RTC. I can't help thinking that the clock accuracy is going to suffer unless there's some real good temperature stabilization happening somewhere. I think it would be better to have an AC input from a wallwart (say, something like from an old modem - roughly 9VAC), and pull the 60Hz off of that; it has truly wonderful long-term stability and accuracy. Then, if power is lost, switch over to the less accurate RTC for the (hopefully) short period of time needed to get mains power back.

Re: Monochron timebase
The wall adapter is DC not AC (so that it works in 220V or 120V countries)
you can fit a TCXO such as the ChronoDot from macetech, theres space for it!
