Since the second hand's error is cleared every 32 seconds, if you knew when the sequence started, you could ignore 31 out of every 32 seconds and you may consider the clock to be accurate every 32 seconds. Not very useful. Would have made more sense (if that's even possible) to recycle every 30 seconds on the minute. At least you would know the exact time on the minute and 30 seconds past.
