This is great! Now I wish there was a wristwatch (Apple Watch face?) that could do this as well.

#43Shouldn't there be two minute hands if you add LA and India (PST and IST)? The minutes are offset by 30 mins in this scenario.
Another one for Nepal, they have an offset of 45 mins.

#44Something similar (but simpler) I made for my personal use: https://rsapkf.org/tz
week of the year: 53/52 ... perhaps you meant it as a joke?
It’s possible (with the ISO week calendar) to have a week 53– on years where Jan 1 is on Thursday or Wednesday for leap years.
2022 was not such a year; there appears to be a bug here.

#45Slick design. Love that it doesn't try to do a million things. I think this would be really nice as a smartwatch face or an iPhone widget.

#46Excellent. You can see at a glance which of the cities are in right now in day light and where's night.
Not precisely though since in different places, the sun goes up/under at different times. An interesting thing could be if the small hands had a color that indicates the night/day/dusk/dawn
I've always found it quite weird (though obviously convenient) that Warsaw and Madrid are on the same time zone

They are not. It is 17:25 in Warsaw now, 16:25 in Dublin.

Came here looking for a comment suggesting these discrepancies. I was not disappointed.
