# [Two clocks too easy](https://johnpoelstra.com/two-clocks-too-easy/)

[Will Woods](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WillWoods)
 pointed out on `#fedora-meeting` that he adds a second clock to the gnome panel to track UTC for Fedora meeting times. I’ve been looking for a good multiple timezone clock for a long time. It is possible to add a second clock and set it to display UTC.

Add a second clock applet to the Gnome panel, right-click on it, select `preferences,` and check `UTC`.

There doesn’t appear to be a way to label the new clock as UTC.
