How to add multiple time zone clocks on Windows 11

To add multiple time zone clocks on Windows 11, open Settings > Time & language > Date & time, add up to two additional clocks, and hover over the taskbar clock to see them.

This guide covers the Settings, Control Panel and Clock app routes, how to tell which one your build uses, and fixes when the extra clocks do not show.

Add multiple clocks on Windows 11 from Settings app

Windows 11 version 24H2 and 25H2 builds from September 2025 onward moved the additional clocks option from Control Panel into Settings. Microsoft rolled the change out gradually, so some PCs still hand off to Control Panel.

1. Press Win + I to open Settings.
2. Select Time & language > Date & time.
3. Find the Additional clocks option and open it.
4. Turn on the first extra clock, pick its time zone and type a display name such as London.
5. Repeat for the second clock if you need one.
6. Save the change, then hover over the clock at the right end of the taskbar.

If selecting Additional clocks opens a small Date and Time window instead, your build still uses the Control Panel dialog. Follow the next section from step 4.

2. Wait for the tooltip; it lists your local time plus each additional clock by its display name.

Change the time zone on Windows 11 for accurate extra clocks

Additional clocks are calculated from your PC's own time zone, so a wrong local zone makes every extra clock wrong. You can also set the time and zone manually when automatic detection picks the wrong one.

1. Open Settings > Time & language > Date & time.
2. Turn off Set time zone automatically if the zone shown is wrong.
3. Pick the right zone from the Time zone drop-down menu.
4. Check the taskbar clock shows your correct local time.

3. Restart the PC and hover over the clock again.

The system tray clock is turned off, so there is nothing to hover over.

1. Open Settings > Time & language > Date & time.
2. Turn on Show time and date in the System tray.
3. Hover over the clock to see the additional clocks.

An extra clock shows the wrong hour

The local time zone or the zone picked for that clock is wrong.

2. Reopen the additional clocks setting and pick the right zone for that clock.
3. Save and check the tooltip again.
