Online Analog Clock

A real-time clock face

A clock with hour, minute and second hands, drawn as a crisp vector graphic that stays sharp at any size. The second hand can sweep smoothly like a mechanical watch, or tick once a second like a quartz clock.

How to use it

1. Choose a dial style: classic, modern, minimal, Roman numerals or dots.
2. Choose smooth or ticking movement for the second hand.
3. Set your own colors for the face, hands and second hand.
4. Press Fullscreen to display it large.

Reading an analog clock

The short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. Each number on the dial is five minutes apart, so when the long hand points to the 3 it is 15 minutes past the hour. It can be a useful way to teach children: a large clock in fullscreen is easy to point at and talk about.

For a numeric display, use the digital clock. To read about the other way of writing time, see what the 24-hour clock is.
