Because smaller clock (A) has hands that move at 2 times the speed of larger clock (B), the light appears to pass both clocks at the same rate (when compared to the clock it is passing). Light will take the same amount of ticks to pass clock (A) compared to clock (A) as it takes to pass clock (B) compared to clock (B).</strong>

It depends on what types of clocks are used. Some measures of 'time' could appear to measure an increase in the speed of light, while others would measure no apparent change.
