Perils of Not Wearing a Watch, or Has Our Heroine Over-Extended Her Lunchbreak?

Our heroine was returning from lunch. She was hoping it was not too much after 1:15, as she'd left at 12:10. As she had no watch, she had no real way of knowing.

The elevator doors opened on the way up, on the second floor. She had a clear view into an office. And to its clock, hanging on the wall, on the right of the seated man.

It said 2:10.

She gasped.

And then she looked to the left of the seated man. Another clock!! It said 1:10.

Her jaw dropped.

The elevator door closed.

What time WAS it??? And isn't the point of having office clocks to leave little room for doubt ABOUT THE TIME???

(~A cautionary tale about looking into the offices of Korean Airlines to ascertain the time.)
