Ways to improve this clock algorithm?

import time
class ExampleTimer(object):
    def __init__(self):
        print "This is my super clock"
        self.run()

    def run(self):
        while 1:
              self.update_time()
              print "%s hrs %s min %s sec" % (self.hours, self.mins, self.secs)
              time.sleep(1)

    def update_time(self):
        # I would use time.localtime() to update the time because doing this I am
        # sure that it is always syncd with my pc time. I think this is the only
        # improvement :). It also removes the need for all that math.
        self.secs = time.localtime()[5]
        self.mins = time.localtime()[4]
        self.hours = time.localtime()[3]

app = ExampleTimer()
app.run()
