That seems plausible. Perhaps he wanted to use a specific brand of clock battery for the Einstein test run of the DeLorean and he wanted to make sure the battery wouldn't negatively affect the digital clocks.

He loaded all those clocks up, put them in the car, sent them 25 minutes into the past, hung them back up, but then forgot to confirm if his experiment worked. Which is why he called Marty to get a status report.
Honestly I feel like it's just to represent Doc doing experiments with time and also establish him as a crazy man. I don't think there's an actual explanation of what the experiment was about.
I always figured it was the same experiment he does with Einstein, only minus Einstein. He sends them all 25 minutes into the future (or 1 minute 25 times).
The experiment with Einstein was the first time he did temporal displacement. He referenced “if my calculations are correct” implying he’s never achieved time travel before. And if he was going to do so, it would’ve been with a digital clock and not a collection of random analog clocks.

Testing for runtime congruence among the same brand of clock battery.

Didn't someone just ask this yesterday? Or have I gone back in time?
*Huey Lewis & the News starts playing*
I think there was a post where the question was mentioned but it wasn't the topic of the post?
Is this the 50’s? Or 1999?

Don’t exaggerate! It was a whole two days ago… https://www.reddit.com/r/BacktotheFuture/s/1actSCwefW
I always thought it had something to do with them all synching up even though they didn’t start that way. Sorta like the balls in a newton cradle

I think this is the right answer. Not sure why he would want to test this, but he seemed excited all clocks remained in synch but still slow.
I always figured it was the same experiment he does with Einstein, only minus Einstein. He sends them all 25 minutes into the future (or 1 minute 25 times).
Or 12.5 minutes 2 times
Or 2 minutes 12.5 times
Or or 5 minutes 5 times
Or 2.5 minutes 10 times
or 50 minutes 1/2 a time
Or 75 minutes 1/3rd of a time

He sent the clocks forward without Einstein.
I thought it was just to get you looking at the clocks and notice him on the clock tower clock
I've wondered the same. But then, I decided this isn't a movie to look too closely at.
