clock question

So I am a new S550 owner and am wondering if there is a clock display option available? I like the clock in the dash but was curious if there is a display for the command too?

Thanks in advance. Oh, I have the 2011 MY

Clock related. Can the minutes be adjusted? I know the hrs. can via Command for Daylight Savings change etc. I feel the minutes are a couple behind what the time is. I find I can only make full 1/2 hr. changes. Can the minute hand be adjusted forward and back by the minute? Thanks.

Thanks for the good point. The time on my Android phone, as well as a tablet when in the vehicle, show a variance of two minutes digitally from what the analog minute hand shows. I get the GPS angle, but I also feel the phone and tablet are spot-on. I ask in good faith, which device(s) should be trusted as gospel? Also, is there another way to garner the exact correct minutes? I suspect I'm coming across as pretty picky, ergo minutes precision, but I really like to have correct data visually. All advice appreciated. Thanks.
