Imagine it on your website
One website. Different local times.
Help visitors orient themselves before a call or a message. These are working clocks, each using its own named time zone.
01 / The studio website
Before you call.
Know their time.
A local clock beside your contact information.
02 / The global team
Across the world.
Still in sync.
A second location with its own local time.
The clocks use the visitor’s device time and browser time-zone rules. They show the current time, not business availability or opening hours. The surrounding layouts are examples for your website.
A small detail.
A more considerate website.
Put time where it answers a question: next to a contact card, a team location or a destination guide.
Make location clear
A caption and a named time zone make the clock useful to visitors in another part of the world.
Show only what matters
Switch between 12 and 24 hours. Include the date and seconds when they help, or keep the display quiet.
Keep your own style
Choose colors, a gradient, alignment and rounded corners. Add more clocks for more locations.

Choose a city.
Set the mood.
Try time zones, date languages and display options. The preview uses the actual plugin component; copy its HTML when your clock is ready.

A few useful details
Good to know.
Easy to start.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
The plugin is free and open source. A clock does not need an account or API key.
Does it show my time or the visitor’s time?
Choose a named time zone such as Europe/London for a fixed location. The clock uses the visitor’s device time and the browser’s time-zone rules to display that location’s time.
Does it account for daylight saving time?
Named IANA time zones use the browser’s rules for seasonal clock changes. The result depends on the device clock and the browser’s time-zone data.
Can I show several clocks?
Yes. Add another block or HTML preset and give it a different time zone and caption.
Are external fonts required?
No. These examples use the built-in styling. Optional Google Fonts in the plugin’s editor load from an external CDN when selected.

Does everything I need
This clock plugin does a great job of displaying the time. You can make many adjustments to include the date, have it in different sizes or show a different time zone. Simple yet powerful! 😀
Nice plugin
This is a very good plugin. The clock is stylish and decorative. Easy to install.
Awesome. Best clock plugin
You have no idea how much I searched & searched for a plugin like this where it will display my server time instead of the correct time display for each person who goes to my page but all the plugins were outdated and didn't work.
