I'm not quite sure how this should work.

You can already do an offset with, e.g.,

$ faketime 5pm swisswatch

or just

$ env TZ=America/New_York swisswatch

So I assume you want something fancier, like a dynamic time source?
Maybe coming from a pipe? But how often should it read, should it wait
for new values before changing the clock or should the clock move at
the usual rate between updates? What's the use case? I'm not sure what
you're really thinking here. Maybe it would be better to add a
facility to faketime to allow it to get updates from a pipe, so this
could be done to anything not just swissclock?
