Puzzle 1

At midnight on Sunday, December 31st, I set two of my analogue clocks to the correct time. One of my clocks gains one minute every hour and the other loses two minutes every hour.

1. When will the clocks next show the same time as each other?
2. When will the clocks both show the correct time?

Yes, I know. I did think of putting it on General Betting, but they might cross examine me and expose me as being non too sharp :(
