Through the hottest months, work on open sites pauses for a few hours in the middle of the day, which gives the schedule a hard edge whether or not anyone is watching a clock. If 11:12 am is that edge, this page tracks the exact time remaining, down to the second, with nothing to set up first.
Nothing here is stored, sent or remembered. The page works out one number from your device's clock and draws it, and that is the whole of what it does. Closing the tab leaves nothing behind, and there is no history of times you have looked up sitting anywhere afterwards.
Having all three forms in front of you saves a good deal of squinting: 11:12 am for everyday reading, 11:12 for anything printed in timetable style, and twelve minutes past eleven in the morning for whatever was actually said down the phone. They are three ways of writing one instant, and mixing them up is easier than it sounds.
Common questions
What happens once 11:12 am has passed for today?
The count rolls over and carries on towards the same time tomorrow. That happens on its own at the moment the time passes — the page does not need reloading and there is nothing to reset by hand.
Which clock does the countdown use?
Your own. It reads the local time and time zone from the device in front of you, which in the Emirates means Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4. Travel and the count follows whatever the device picks up.
Will it alert me when 11:12 am arrives?
No. This is a live figure rather than an alarm — nothing sounds, vibrates or notifies at zero. If you need interrupting at 11:12 am, set an alarm alongside it and use this page as the running total.
Do the clocks change here?
No. The UAE has no daylight saving at all, so the offset stays at UTC+4 in every month. When the gap to Europe or North America shifts, it is their clocks that moved, not yours.
