FYI, you can also use /sbin/hwclock (man hwclock) which has a number of
options for investigation (I suspect /sbin/clock is a "wrapper" for
hwclock, although I've never used /sbin/clock or read its docs/man
pages).
Hwclock will allow you to determine wheter it's the hardware clock or OS
clock which is error or correct. IIRC, the OS clock is stored in the
hardware clock at shutdown, meaning the "new" value is in the HW clock
at reboot.
