another odd situation

 

there is another odd situation is that , When I set the time, I stopped it at 60 second (the second hand is at 60), but after one full revolution (0 to 60) of the second hand , the minute hand wouldn't be at precisely at the next minute 's mark ( let's say 1 to 2). Instead it would still be a little off to reach the next minute ( the minute would be precisely at 2 around 15 seconds).. is it abnormal or normal?

but after all the time seems like catching up correctly, just that when I read the time , let's say I am reading 12:05:00( when the minute hand is exactly on the 5 mark) but the second hand is already at around 15 second's. shouldn't the minute hand in this situation pass the 5 mark alittle already if the second hand is already at 15?

Thanks and best Regards

Have you set the minute hand exactly to the minute marker when you stopped the second hand at 12?
