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 11:22 am is that edge, this page tracks the exact time remaining, down to the second, with nothing to set up first.
There is nothing to start and nothing to choose. The page reads the clock on your device, works out the gap to 11:22 am, and redraws it every second for as long as it is open. Leave it in a background tab if you like; the number will be current whenever you look back at it.
In an office where a dozen nationalities read the same calendar invite, 24-hour notation quietly does a lot of work. 11:22 cannot be misread as the other end of the day, whereas 11:22 am depends on the reader noticing two small letters at the end of it. Both describe exactly the same moment.
Common questions
What is 11:22 on a 12-hour clock?
The same instant is 11:22 am in writing and twenty-two minutes past eleven in the morning out loud. Anything from 13:00 onwards loses twelve to give the pm figure, which is the only sum involved in moving between the two.
Does the number update by itself?
Yes. It is recalculated every second from your device's clock, so nothing needs refreshing or restarting. Whatever is on screen is the current gap to 11:22 am, not a figure worked out when the page first opened.
What happens once 11:22 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.
