Use-Case Scenario

World Clocks for Global Branch Visibility

A fast‑growing multinational company uses the World Clocks slide template to show current times across key office locations. Each branch updates automatically so staff can quickly gauge local time differences without manual calculations.

Using the slide template, they publish a dedicated World Clocks panel to all in‑office screens. The slide features a large left hero clock displaying the Head Office time and date, with a clear label like “Head Office — 10:33 PM, Friday 13th September 20245” On the right, a grid of compact clocks shows major offices (Brisbane, Vietnam, Berlin, London, New York, Los Angeles) in a clean, uniform style. Each clock includes a city label beneath and the local time (e.g., Brisbane 8:33 PM, London 11:33 AM, New York 6:33 AM).

A lightweight caption notes the purpose: “Coordinating across time zones” to reinforce cross‑branch collaboration. The slide uses a subtle blurred background and bold typography to keep time readable from a distance, while preserving your branding.

FAQ

How do I handle daylight saving time (DST) changes?
DST adjustments are automatic in this setup, so no manual intervention is required.

What format should the times be displayed in?
This slide template supports a single display format: 12-hour time (for example, 3:45 PM).

Can I customize which locations appear on the slide?
Yes. You may select which time zones are displayed and customize the label for each clock to suit your needs.

Is it possible to remove the large hero clock and align all the smaller clocks in a single level?
Yes. To align all clocks on a single level, set the clock’s Pin option to No for each clock. If you wish for a clock to serve as the hero, you may assign Pin = Yes to that clock.
