You should really try to use a centrally synched time. Tore suggested one approach. Another would be to run "NET TIME \\computername /SET /Y" occasionally.
If the app re-starts on a regular basis then running it at startup should be enough for your purposes. Running it at point of failure with your current code wouldn't work if there was an errant machine that was *ahead* of the system clock since it would never get synched and the other machines would never catch up after it contributed a time stamp...
