Here's a simple clock extension I created using Raphael extending BoxComponent. I'll be demoing this at SenchaCon 2010 tomorrow, hope to see you there .
To try it out, drop it into the Ext JS 3.3 examples folder.
After zooming in a bit I also see this, very weird in deed. Will take a deeper look in a bit
The other thing I just noticed, some times when the second hand moves from "high noon" to the first second the "bounding rectangle" (which coincidentally is the bounds for the distortion) shortens the hand to about the length of the hour hand...
interestingly, it seems that both the odd distortions and the sheering of the second hand seem to disappear after letting the clock run for a few minutes, only to reappear a few minutes past that.
[edit]
Even more fun upon zooming in, I've noticed that the Hand of the statue on the Rio De Janeiro clock closest to the San Fran clock is also "twitching" along with the San Fran clock, when the second hand is in the left hemisphere of the San Fran clock

Reason: additional findings.
