Solved it... This wasn't related to the clock at all. I do cut power to the PC when it's off and began wondering if that hat drained the CMOS battery, but that would make BIOS settings reset, not advance the OS clock by one hour. The CMOS time is correct in the BIOS.
While checking another issue (swap wouldn't mount) i discovered a lot of programs, hwclock included, had 000 permissions in /sbin. Problem solved. I believe it was Bastille leftovers. Thank you for your rapid suggestions and time.
