    I want to detect the event when the system clock changes. I am working on windows.

    I don't if there is such an event.
    But what you can do, is have a timer call a slot every half a second and get the system time.
    If the time has changed in more then one second, you know someone has changed the system time.

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.

    Sure, but the more intelligent ways will add a lot of OS-specific code to your project. By far the easiest to implement and least OS-specific way is to just query the time once a second and check yourself.
