Yes, requestAnimationFrame is the preferred way to do it in JS.  To
reach a constant speed in your animations you can use Date.now()
inside the callback.  Further, you can use a tweener lib like TweenJS.

For browser compatibility you should use a polyfill like this one:

I have to add that to Clock Web.
