>From hwclock's man page:

  If you specify neither --utc nor --localtime , the default is whichever was  specified  the  last  time
  hwclock  was  used  to set the clock (i.e. hwclock was successfully run with the --set , --systohc , or
  --adjust options), as recorded in the adjtime file.  If the adjtime file doesn't exist, the default  is
  local time.

So the first time you set the hwclock with --utc, it will
be kept that way.
