A clock second is always seen by an observer who is also in the frame
of the clock to be one second long. The difference occurs, as you say,
from one frame to another. According to four dimensionalism, when an
observer moves at high speed relative to another observer he observes
time measurements in the other frame as measurements of a combination
of time and space, it is like the time axis of the other observer leans
over in the direction of travel. See:
