@aldisachen currently the clock will only use the system time.

in the update coming April 1, you can specify the tinezone as an option.

so then u could do two clock instances

@aldisachen Hi aldisachen,
https://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/free.html offers a wide range of designs. You can modify analog and text-based clocks by your own. It can look like here:

Generate a clock, copy the html-code and create a html-file (for example uhrzeit.html) at the module-folder.
Example with 3 clocks:

<html lang="de">
<head>
<title>Uhrzeit</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#000000>
<font color=white>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="padding: 100px;">
<p style="font-size: 50px; color: white;">Bonn</p>
	<iframe src="https://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i8olx9pj/n83/szw500/szh500/hbw0/hfc000/cf100/hgr0/fav0/fiv0/mqcfff/mql15/mqw4/mqd94/mhcfff/mhl15/mhw4/mhd94/mmcfff/mms4/mml2/mmw1/hwm2/hhcbbb/hmcddd/hsceee" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500"></iframe>
</td>
<td style="padding: 100px;">
<p style="font-size: 50px; color: white;">Lima</p>
	<iframe src="https://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i8olx9pj/n131/szw500/szh500/hbw0/hfc000/cf100/hgr0/fav0/fiv0/mqcfff/mql15/mqw4/mqd94/mhcfff/mhl15/mhw4/mhd94/mmcfff/mms4/mml2/mmw1/hwm2/hhcbbb/hmcddd/hsceee" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500"></iframe>
</td>
<td style="padding: 100px;">
<p style="font-size: 50px; color: white;">Istanbul</p>
	<iframe src="https://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i8olx9pj/n107/szw500/szh500/hbw0/hfc000/cf100/hgr0/fav0/fiv0/mqcfff/mql15/mqw4/mqd94/mhcfff/mhl15/mhw4/mhd94/mmcfff/mms4/mml2/mmw1/hwm2/hhcbbb/hmcddd/hsceee" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Replace the part beginning with “iframe” with your code and of course the names of the cities.
In the config.js, use MMM-SmartWebDisplay to display the clocks, write as url: [“/modules/uhrzeit.html”].
May be, this can satisfy your needs.

@aldisachen I use MMM-Worldclock to display clocks for other time zones / parts of the world. That module is available on the 3rd party modules page.

Hello together and thanks for the code / html.
But i don´t understadn the things. I´m not a developer. This looks very hard for me.
But I will try to do this … can take lot of time for me. ;-)

@aldisachen I would try the worldclock module approach mentioned by @earnestrichards

use it instead of the default clockmmodule
