Enable Additional Clocks in Windows Vista

Windows Vista includes an enhancement to the system clock that lets you display 2 additional clocks when you hover your mouse over the system clock.

Here’s an example of the London clock:

Adding these additional clocks is extremely easy. First right-click on the clock in the system tray, and choose Adjust Date/Time: 

Click the Additional Clocks tab, and select the options and time zone as shown:

You can enter a friendly display name. I entered “London”, but you could put something relevant to you, like the name of a family member living elsewhere.

    ^analog clock on desktop.

    i read in a post somewhere else in this forum that one can first enable the sidebar, add the desired clock, drag it on to the desktop if not already, then close the sidebar. after that one can drag the analog clock running on desktop anywhere on the desktop. if the z-order is enabled as “on top”, then one can even hide the systray digi clock and put the analog clock here.
