The Clock is only until the next Gem is produced for that habitat. If you're habitat is at the basic level when the clock reaches 0 three things happen:

1) A Gem is produced. 2) A Chest appears because the habitat is 1/3 Full. 3) The Clock Resets.

If the habitat is upgraded when the clock reaches 0 two things happen:

1) A Gem is produced. You can still collect that Gem, but a Chest is not shown because the Habitat is not at 1/3 Capacity. (just clock on the timer button.) 2) The Clock Resets.

After playing around a little bit, a Chest appears on an upgraded gem habitat when the overall timer of the number of Gems all the dragons can produce in a week reaches 1/3 of it's Total Time (bit of a weird on here. But basically you'll see a chest appear sometime after the timer has reset to countdown to the next Gem Produced, but before it's actually produced.)

Trust that when the Timer Resets you get a Gem, you only get a Chest if the Habitat's Total Capacity is 3 Gems (because 1 Gem = 1/3 Full). If you've upgraded your habitat, all that happens is a Gem is produced and you can collect it at your leisure (remember, like Coins, Gem Habitats do not have to have the chest showing to collect the accumulated treasure.)
