NTP does that.
It has the hardware clock as a reference in place or a remote server
reference and knows the rate of drift of the hardware clock.

Of the hardware clock, no. Of the system clock, yes.

No, the drift is the inaccuracy or error of the clock frequency, i.e. of
the hardware oscillator. By knowing the drift of the hardware clock,
ntp is able to massage the system clock.
