Countdown timer using Moment js

Question

I am making a countdown timer for an event page, i used moment js for this.

Here is fiddle for this.

I am calculating date difference between event date and current date (timestamp), then using "duration" method from moment js. But the time left is not coming as expected.
Expected - 00:30m:00s
Actual - 5h:59m:00s

Code :

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){

    var eventTime = '1366549200';
    var currentTime = '1366547400';
    var time = eventTime - currentTime;
    var duration = moment.duration(time*1000, 'milliseconds');
    var interval = 1000;

    setInterval(function(){
      duration = moment.duration(duration.asMilliseconds() - interval, 'milliseconds');
      $('.countdown').text(moment(duration.asMilliseconds()).format('H[h]:mm[m]:ss[s]'));
    }, interval);
  });
  </script>

I read the momentjs documentation to figure out the problem, but no luck.

Thanks for your time.

Update :

I end up doing like this :

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){

    var eventTime = '1366549200';
    var currentTime = '1366547400';
    var leftTime = eventTime - currentTime;//Now i am passing the left time from controller itself which handles timezone stuff (UTC), just to simply question i used harcoded values.
    var duration = moment.duration(leftTime, 'seconds');
    var interval = 1000;

    setInterval(function(){
      // Time Out check
      if (duration.asSeconds() <= 0) {
        clearInterval(intervalId);
        window.location.reload(true); #skip the cache and reload the page from the server
      }

      //Otherwise
      duration = moment.duration(duration.asSeconds() - 1, 'seconds');
      $('.countdown').text(duration.days() + 'd:' + duration.hours()+ 'h:' + duration.minutes()+ 'm:' + duration.seconds() + 's');
    }, interval);
  });
  </script>

JS Fiddle.

In the last statement you are converting the duration to time which also considers the timezone. I assume that your timezone is +530, so 5 hours and 30 minutes gets added to 30 minutes. You can do as given below.

var eventTime= 1366549200; // Timestamp - Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:00:00 GMT
var currentTime = 1366547400; // Timestamp - Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:30:00 GMT
var diffTime = eventTime - currentTime;
var duration = moment.duration(diffTime*1000, 'milliseconds');
var interval = 1000;

setInterval(function(){
  duration = moment.duration(duration - interval, 'milliseconds');
    $('.countdown').text(duration.hours() + ":" + duration.minutes() + ":" + duration.seconds())
}, interval);
