A clock can be accurate in measuring duration even though it is not accurate in measuring the point in time. [It's hard to see how the opposite could be true.]
Pedantic point: A clock that is stepped (say, by NTP) is precisely one that is accurate in measuring the point in time (that's what stepping is for) but not in measuring duration.
