How to Add Multiple Clocks on Your Windows 10 PC

Quick Tips

• Go to Alarms & Clock > Clock > click the + icon, search for your desired location, and pin it to the Start Menu.
• Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Additional Clocks > Show this clock > Select the time zone for each additional clock > click Apply and then OK.

Adding Multiple Clocks to the Start Menu

Note: I’ll add a new clock for an entirely different timezone/region (Baltimore – a city in Maryland, USA).

Step 1: Tap the Windows key and select Alarms & Clock from the app list.

Alternatively, you can type Alarms into the search box and click on the corresponding result — Alarms & Clock.

Step 2: Navigate to the Clock section.

It will display your local time and date, as well as a map with a geo-pin showing your current location.

Step 3: Click the plus (+) icon at the bottom-right corner of the display.

That will bring up a new search bar at the top of the map.

Step 4: In the search box, enter a location. It could be the name of a country, a state, or a city.

As you type in the box, the Windows system will show some suggestions.

Step 5: Tap a region of choice from the drop-down suggestions, and its corresponding clock will be added to the dashboard.

Windows will display the time difference between your default timezone and the newly added timezone. A new pin showing the location of the new clock will also be added to the map.

Step 6: To add the new clock to your computer’s Start Menu, right-click the clock and select the Pin to Start option.

Step 7: In the prompt, click Yes to proceed.

And that’s it. When you click the Windows icon on the screen or your keyboard, you should see a tile displaying the newly added clock.

If you added a clock in an entirely different timezone, we recommend that you also pin your primary (read: local) clock to the Start Menu. This eliminates the possibility of mistaking the newly added clock for your local clock.

Step 8: To add your primary clock to the Start Menu, return to the Clock dashboard, right-click the Local time clock, and select the Pin to Start option.

Step 9: Click Yes to confirm the action.

Now, you should see multiple clocks in your PC’s Start Menu. Each clock should have a proper label with its respective location and time. To add more clocks, simply repeat Steps 1 to 7.

Adding Multiple Clocks to the Taskbar

Step 1: Type Control Panel into the Windows search bar and tap the corresponding result.

Step 2: Click the Clock and Region option.

Step 3: Click Add clocks for different time zones.

That opens a new window to set up multiple clocks for different time zones on your PC.

Step 4: To add the first clock, check the Show this clock box.

Step 5: Click the Select time zone drop-down and select your preferred timezone.

Step 6: Give the clock a name or use the default display name (Clock 1).

We recommend that you rename the clock, preferably to match the name of the region or timezone, so it can be easily distinguished from your primary timezone.

Step 7: To add another clock, check the second Show this clock box, select a timezone, change the clock’s display name—or use the default name like Clock 2.

Step 8: Tap the Apply button.

Step 9: Click OK to save the new clocks.

When you hover your mouse over the Date & Time section of the taskbar, the time and date of the local and new time zones are displayed on the tooltip.

When you click the taskbar clock, the newly added clocks will be displayed directly above the calendar.

If you have trouble keeping up with the time differences of multiple regions, you should use either of the methods above to add their respective clocks to your Windows computer.
