Swiss world clock widget

What a Swiss world clock widget shows

A world clock widget is for anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another time zone. Three cities in columns, each with its time and a day hint, answer "is it too late to call?" at a glance.

Each clock layer in WidgetCraft can use its own time zone, chosen by city. It is free, works offline and needs no permission; daylight saving is handled automatically.

How the Swiss style shapes it

Swiss style, also called International Typographic Style, relies on a strict grid, a neutral sans, left alignment and strong size contrast, usually in black, white and red.

• Numbers: Make the number very large and tight, aligned to the left grid line.
• Text: Use one neutral sans, left-aligned, in two sizes only.

How to make a Swiss world clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFFFFF and the corner radius to 0.
2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Inter, the size to 35 and the color to #000000.
3. Duplicate the clock twice and space the three about 112 apart. Open each copy's details, choose Time zone and pick its city.
4. Add a Text label above each clock with the city name at size 12 in #6B6B6B, and the offset below it.
5. Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #E30613 under your own city.
6. Add the Swiss ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a solid red bar, 10 points tall, across the full width at the top.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Swiss world clock widgets

• Use red for one element only.
• Three cities fit a 4 × 2 widget; four make the numbers too small.
• Add the day offset, such as "+1 day", when a city is already tomorrow.
• Put your own city first so the others read relative to it.
• Do not center text.
• Do not use decorative fonts.
