Yes, the Plasma clock takes the time format from the locale format as set in 
System Settings/Regional & Language/Time & Dates/Time Format.  Use the drop-
down combo to choose format HH:MM:SS

Setting time format at a clock level is a popular wish in bko, I do have a 
patch for it but it goes with some other config changes that need more work.  
It will probably make SC 4.6.
