This is probably useful:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Configuring_the_Date_and_Time-hwclock.html



There is a note about how the system clock is synced every 11 minutes to hardware.  This might be a configuration option in chrony or ntpd. 

Plenty of good information in that document to dig through.
