Build an analog clock for Notion, a website, or a blog with authentic Swiss railway stop-and-go motion. Pick any city, customize the dial, and choose the details to display.
Paste this into a Notion embed block (type /embed, then paste the link).
Search any of 200+ cities worldwide, or use your own time zone automatically.
Choose a curated theme or pick your own face, hand, and second-hand colors.
Copy the embed link and drop it into a Notion /embed block. Done.
Most "Swiss style" clocks online just sweep continuously. This one replicates the actual mechanism: a 58-second sweep, then the second hand parks at 12 while the minute hand jumps forward.
Search 200+ cities across every time zone, instead of only showing whatever time zone your browser happens to be set to.
The face is drawn live in SVG, so it stays crisp whether the Notion block is a small sidebar widget or stretched across the page.
Respects reduced-motion settings, holds no state, and loads no tracking — it's just a clock.
That's the real behavior of the original Swiss railway station clock, designed by Hans Hilfiker: the second hand sweeps a little fast and parks at 12 for about two seconds each minute, so every clock on the network can be resynchronized to the exact start of the next minute. You can turn this off in the Behavior section for a plain continuous sweep instead.
Not by editing it in place — there's no account behind this, so a placed embed and this builder aren't connected. Rebuild the settings here, copy the new link, and swap it into the existing embed block's source (select the embed, replace the link).
No. Nothing is saved on our end — all the settings live in the link itself, which is why swapping a link is how you update a widget already placed on a page.
Yes — the clock reads the live time for the selected city's time zone on every page load, so it shifts automatically whenever that region's clocks change.
Each embed is a single clock. To show several cities, place multiple embed blocks side by side, one per city — that also lets you size or theme each one independently.
The default face is white, matching the real station clock. If you want it to blend into a dark page, pick the Midnight theme or set your own face/background colors — the background behind the clock can also be made transparent.
