That's contrary to what I just posted above. I don't have my books with me, but it is my understanding that if you have definite knowledge of the time that should be on the clock, you reset it to that time if there is more than a 1 second difference (the allowed lag). You don't allow for the lag when making the reset. In your situation, I would reset it to 1:00. However, I could be wrong; there's a first time for everything.
