Advancing / retardation of Ships clock

Its spooky to see ship's clock advance and retard from own cabin, no wonder my wife got scared when it suddenly started to tick unnaturally in cabin. She did took a video but I deleted it finding nothing special in it, today I think it would have added to this list.

While traveling to different countries we do reset our watch but on-board ship it occurs after every 15 degree E-W or practically after a small calculation. I will not go into technical this time (pun intended !) but watching the clock's hand move unnaturally for few minutes might remind you of some B grade horror movies ;-)
