Thread: Analogue 12 hr Clock and Time Zones

To help visualise it here is a rough drawing.

I suggest you go on www.cws.au.com and send Jim an email about the availability of clocks that may do what you want.

Thanks, but my first option was to look over his site and there is nothing in a small desk clock for 24 hours. I am looking at the 36mm face clocks as any larger would look out of place on a desk.

G'day Rod,
Have just been in touch with a mate who is a professional clock maker , he suggests
Yes 3 clocks will work.
or alternatives

1.- 24 hour clocks would be easier to tell if it was day or night overseas.
2.- A time clock that can be set for your time and overseas.
3.- A clock with a time ring that can be adjusted for the countrys you want to know the time in.

If you are interersted in fit-ups they are available.

Catch ya Andrew

If in the northern hemisphere, the actual offset will be 13, 14, or 15 hours, depending on local and distant states of daylight saving time. I have two clocks (ordinary wall clocks) near my computer; one is now at +15 hours from USEST to represent WWF time. It doesn't take too much mental gymnastics to realise that daytime here is night-time there (and vice-versa), but a signal would help. Perhaps an auxiliary clock (with missing minute hand) could be placed within the housing to trip a microswitch (push-on & push-off, I think) to illuminate a bulb on the panel.

Nothing that small for 24hr clocks
The smallest is the world time clocks which have a moveable dial to indicate where the person is and these are 90mm diameter.

Hi There

Thanks for the suggestions. I am running out of time so have decided to go the easiest path and mount three 36mm clocks and let him work out the difference plus or minus.
