It's easily done with two cesium clocks; just apply money. Heck, two
rubidiums would work.

HP once bought two airline seats around the world, one for an engineer
and one for a battery-powered cesium clock. They synched two clocks
and then flew one around the world. The resulting time error was
consistant with relativity.
