there's two times: the system and the hardware time. Your system time is set by you by date or ntpdate, hardware time is set from your system time. If you use utc your hardware clock should be the opposite sign of your gmt timezone, local time will the same as your system time with no offsets. So basically, once you set your system time you need to set your hardware time otherwise calling hwclock as you did will show the hardware clock.
hwclock --utc --systohc
