Thinking of building a OCXO desktop alarm clock

So recently, (two weeks ago) the power briefly went out and my clock reset to its flashing display of you need to fix me doom. For me, its one of those dangerous issues that it's not annoying enough to fix, but still brings me inconvenience every single day.

To solve this, I want to make my own desktop alarm clock using a OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) to accurately keep time, and use a GPS module to get accurate time if the power goes out.

I really only have coding and some ESP32 experience, as well as some friends with 3d printers. Looking for some help/advice because I don't know what I'm doing an want to build something this summer.
