ScooterABC is correct. I just checked my experiment and raising the power supply to 13.5V did not change the timing of the clock.
I am now going to clean and lube this clock to see if that makes a difference to its ability to keep time. I plan to use soap and water to clean per that article I linked to above and I plan to lube it with some very thin synthetic oil that I have for my mountain bike suspension fork. My hypothesis is that the clock will run faster after this, but we shall see.
