I think its to give the driver enough time to switch over to the news station to catch the hourly reports. If it chimes on the hour you've missed part of the news already.

Its to remind you that you are just about to leave behind another hour of your life in advance...... 
, you know, to give you grieving time etc before it happens etc

I wonder about the early chime as well. Mine actually starts and ends a few secs before the clock turns to 00. Its got to be a bug.
