What is the reference time?
The current time is displayed by means of the hour and minute hand.
Parallel to the current time, the reference time runs in the background; the alarm time refers itself to this reference time. Thus,
resetting the time also requires correction of the reference time.
If the reference time is not synchronized with the current time, the alarm signal will sound at a different time than the set
alarm time.
