I can't figure out what you mean.

If you don't run something like NTP, your system clock will drift.

If you have something like a PPS from a GPS, then you could run a clock
off the PPS.  But that is likely to break if the GPS ever fades out.

It seems much simpler/cleaner to me to run NTP to keep your system clock
accurate and then run the clock program off the system clock.
