The Observatory launches iPhone/iPad supported Web Clock (Trial)

8 April 2011

Since launched in October 2009, the web clock of the Hong Kong Observatory has gained immense popularity. It has already served over 1.4 million time checks to date.

To facilitate users of iPhone and iPad, the Observatory launches "Web Clock - Modern (Trial)". Adopting the latest HTML5 technology, this version of web clock can be used on iPhone/iPad as well as major browsers direct, without pre-installed Flash Player.

Through the Internet, the "Web Clock - Modern (Trial)" acquires the Hong Kong Standard Time which is traceable to the Observatory's atomic clock and displays it in both analog and digital clock forms (Figure below), enabling users to check the accurate time anytime anywhere.

The web address of the "Web Clock - Modern (Trial)" is:
