Level 3 : The Observer and The Times

Clutterbuck, the junior clerk, often found himself with time on his
hands. On such occasions, he would resort to a certain window pane where
a circular patch of clear glass showed where the circumambient grime had
been purposefully removed. Thence, through the swirling yellowish fog,
he could see the clock above the gate of the Workhouse which stood
across the way.
As he was thus engaged one afternoon, he observed that the hour hand
was exactly on a minute mark, and that the minute hand was six minutes
ahead of it. Later that afternoon, as he again stole from his desk to
observe the Workhouse clock, he perceived that the hour hand was exactly
on another minute mark, and now the minute hand was seven minutes ahead
of it.
How much time had elapsed between Young Clutterbuck's first and
second observations?
