current time
What clocks show
Current time refers to the present moment as indicated by a clock or other timekeeping system: What's the current time?
The phrase often appears in contexts where precise synchronization matters—scheduling, computing, or coordination across time zones.
The current time in Tokyo is fourteen hours ahead of New York.
