Something wrong there, I think. I have a house full of them, all ancient (several from the very early 1930s) but recently serviced. They are (usually) never more than 1/2 minute wrong, and the long-term accuracy has been perfect. They can run for years and years and still be correct to within a few seconds.
I used to rely on mine unquestioningly for all those things that have to be done on-time (catching the bus into town, school pick-up etc.) but now there's an annoying discrepancy between real time and what's displayed.
