If it had been a "normal" clock, it would have still said "0:01" at that moment anyway.
The clocks with the tenths all have a way of turning that feature off- the operator rarely has the know-how to do it, however. Just like the annoying horn or siren.

Hmm... I disagree. There are some clocks that turn to 14:59
as soon as they're turned on. In those cases, there is actually more time remaining than what reads on the clock. For a tenth of a second, there is 14:59.9s, 14:59.8s, 14:59.7s, etc... until 14:59.0s at which point it changes to 14:58.
Carry that down to the dying seconds. At 0:00.9, that clock will read 0:00. These clocks have the ability to be stopped with zeros, but not have the horn go off.
