This is also an issue for me in Precise 12.04.
The panel time is up to 1 second behind the system time. I have
confirmed the system time is within .0000316 of a second by comparing
with my stratum 2 ntp router.
The panel time however is slower up to about one second or less when
compared with the routers time. This is concerning me as the maths
involved in calculating the panel clock or the code in calling and
displaying the system time is obiously causing this and in my opinion
should be an easy fix - this bug has been in the last 2 releases and is
still present. Add in drift allowance or -1 off the clock that it looks
sooooo close as to be good enough :P
I mean the ntp clock should be giving good enough data to use to make
allowance for drift etc I just don't understand why this is still a
problem

Title:
Panel clock is always exactly one second late
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The default panel clock is always one second late. This is not a
crucial bug but may be really disturbing especially when Mac OS /
windows clocks do not have this bug, and everything you sync with
ubuntu clock visually - ends up one second late in fact.
Also when two laptops (Mac and Ubuntu) are standing side-by-side it is
clear that ubuntu is going late, which is very disappointing :-( .
