Very precise values for certain atomic properties have one thing in common with atomic clocks: they are both based on molecular beam experiments using apparatuses with static and oscillatory magnetic fields. The basis of these experiments and their practical applications are described by Norman F. Ramsey in his Nobel lecture.
