How to use the VClock world clock

Step 1 Open World Clock Tap World Clock in the navigation bar or press 5 on your keyboard.
Step 2 Search or browse Type a city or country name in the search box to filter instantly. Or browse the continent accordion — cities are grouped by region for easy scanning.
Step 3 Check UTC offsets Every city shows its current UTC offset alongside the live time. Offsets update automatically when daylight saving time transitions occur.
Step 4 Times refresh every 10 s No manual refresh needed — all displayed times update every 10 seconds, accurate enough for scheduling calls and meetings across time zones.

European time zones explained

Europe uses four main time zones. Western European Time (WET/WEST) covers Portugal and the Canary Islands — UTC+0 in winter, UTC+1 in summer. Central European Time (CET/CEST) covers most of continental Europe — UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer. Eastern European Time (EET/EEST) covers Finland, the Baltic states, Greece, and Romania — UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer. Most EU countries observe the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October as DST transition dates.

Scheduling international meetings

When coordinating between cities in different time zones, check the live readout for each participant's city before sending an invite. A 9 am start in London is 10 am in Berlin, 11 am in Helsinki, and 4 am in New York — easy to miscalculate from memory alone. VClock shows all of these simultaneously, updated in real time, without requiring any account or app installation.
