There is an explanation about the hardware clock here whcih you might find useful



Simply the commands are these to write the system time to hardware time:



# sudo hwclock -w [or --systohc]


check what effect it had:



# hwclock

    You will need to change a locale called LC_TIME



    This will show what you use now:



    $ env | grep LC_TIME
    LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8


    It probably is set differently (and to one where they use 12-hour format)sudo



    This would be German:



    localectl set-locale LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8
