If you just want to show time then you can use a custom macro which will convert the current time to custom timezone using C# date time conversions and use that macro in your page to display date time.

That webpart just displays the current date and time. Are you wanting to display the server time?

Thanks for reply.

Arun Kumar, Is any ways don't use custom C# code.

Zach Perry, I want display time via Time Zone. Example I live at Cambodia and I want to display "Abu Dhabi, Muscat".

You can use simple JavaScript webpart with below code in it:

window.onload=function(){ 
var d = new Date();
var offset="+4.0";
var city="Abu";
// convert to msec
// subtract local time zone offset
// get UTC time in msec
var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

// create new Date object for different city
// using supplied offset
var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));

// return time as a string
//alert ("The local time for city"+ city +" is "+ nd.toLocaleString());
document.getElementById("lblDate").value=nd.toLocaleString();
};

lblDate here is label on the page where you want to display this date.
