Very clean and polished! I love how smooth the seconds hand move.

I work in an environment where we look at the time across many different timezones around the world. A couple of feature requests if you are ever in the mood:

  1. Make it possible to specify the timezone.
  2. Make it possible to create a grid of clocks, each with different timezones.
  3. Persist the grid/timezone state in the URL so links can be easily shared.

Great feedback for the OP. I would also add, Can you make the text not selectable?

You can now select timezone with URL parameters in IANA timezones: ?tz=America/New_York ?tz=Europe/London ?tz=Asia/Tokyo

Clock now also moves very slowly in screen, in dark mode it can reduce screen burn.

There is also iFrame support, you can easily now make own local html file with multiple clock on different timezones. Quick also to reload after reboot, since static local file to open. If you end up using this in work, I would love to hear more about it, because then my project would have someone using it:)

Thank you! Very good idea, I look forward to implement URL timezone parameters to get it on different zones without it affecting to UI in any way.
