Click ‘Add’ in the Window that appears
In the next window, type in the name of the place whose time should be displayed in the clock applet’s expanded view. Alternatively, you can use the ‘Find’ button to make a selection from a list of prominent locations around the world. Click ‘OK’. You should note that the Timezone, Latitute and Longitude details have been filled up automatically.
Now click ‘OK’.
You should now see the place listed along with the local time there in the expanded clock area.
