The clock follows the daylight saving switch on its own
The page asks your browser for the America/New_York zone rather than adding a fixed number of hours, so the offset comes from the time zone database: UTC-5 on Eastern Standard Time and UTC-4 on Eastern Daylight Time. At 2am on the second Sunday in March the reading jumps to 03:00:00.
