Why was Bond asking about the Russian clock in FRWL?

in General James Bond Chat
Bond asks the Russian twice if the clock on the wall is correct. Why does he do this? He has a watch and he checks it.

    I always had it down as a bit of movie humour. :))

    What is the joke though? I mean the clock doesn't get destroyed in the explosion it just pops out of the wall and is dangling by its cords. I assume it would still be functioning.

    Just my interpretation but To me the joke is it's a bored official
    Who doesn't know what's soon going to happen .... But we go ! :))
    Didn't say it was a very good joke. ;) that's just what I think.

    Bond does this because he is expecting an explosion at an exact time - he checks the clock and his watch and sees that the exact time has arrived, but no explosion...so he asks again if the clock is correct - just in case it's not...then the explosion happens...

    I always took it like Sir Miles explains, and the joke is that the Russian clock was actually wrong, in spite of the office worker's assertions to the contrary. :))

    I know it's a stereotype but somehow Russian made doesn't have the
    Same perceived value as German or Japanese made. :))

    I can see this devolving into a Yakov Smirnoff bit - In Soviet Russia, you tell clock what time it is!

    After the revolution every one did as they were told,all that happened was one ruling elite was replaced with another
    ruling elite, all these politicians who advocate getting rid of the Queen/Royal family ,would all move into Buck house
    the minute the Windsors left,the people who run the E,E,C/common market are a classic example
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    agreed, We'll always have an elite ;)
    ( Although I welcome being ruled by our Inteligent, wise and benevolent Rulers ) :))
    Old Joke time ..........

    " Come the revolution Brothers, every One will have a new BMW
    Come the revolution Brothers, every one will have plenty of money
    Come the revolution Brothers, everyone will have a beautiful Blonde "
    after a pause, a lone voice crys out ...........
    " What if you don't want a BMW or Money or a Blonde ?"
    " Come the revolution Brother, You'll DO as your Fuc*ing TOLD !!" :))
