timesyncd does *not* write to the hw clock directly. The kernel has
done that by itself now every 11 minutes for a fair while now, if the
hw clock is in UTC. (If it's not, then timesyncd tells the kernel to
not sync). See manager_adjust_clock() in

  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/timesync/timesyncd-manager.c#L314
