Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

time differences between clocks
Story:
I got a Parking Ticket in NYC for parking in a NO Parking zone where you are not allowed to park mon-fri from 4:00 PM -7:00PM and I parked there before 4 o'clock when I got back to my car to pick it up it was 4:00 o'clock on my watch. I found a Traffic Police issuing me a ticket and she wrote on the ticket the time of the offense 4:01 PM
Question:
Can I tell the judge the time differences between clocks could account for 1-2 minutes
Is there any legal basis to this argument
I understand that it could be that my time was NOT correct and it was really 4:01 but there is also a possibilty that the agents watch was not corret or even it is correct can i argue that a human being is intitled to a 2 minute mistake??
TIA

Re: time differences between clocks

The answer is yes the Judge will most likely allow a 1 minute grace period.
