الوقت في أجمل صورة
A 7.5-inch e-paper clock that sets itself from our Bahrain time server, has a second hand that really ticks, and wears more than 40 faces. A small first batch, for Bahrain and the Gulf.
ساعة بشاشة حبر إلكتروني قياس ٧٫٥ بوصة تضبط نفسها من خادم الوقت في البحرين، وعقرب ثوانيها يدقّ فعلاً، وفيها أكثر من ٤٠ وجهاً. دفعة أولى صغيرة للبحرين والخليج.
Sets itselfتضبط نفسها
Takes its time from clock.bh over Wi-Fi: you never set the time.
Paper, not a screenورق لا شاشة
E-paper: no backlight, no glare, easy to read in full sun.
40+ facesأكثر من ٤٠ وجهاً
Dials, prayer times, the Hijri calendar, the Moon, the stars. Change with a button.
Arabic and Englishعربي وإنجليزي
Faces that speak both, with the Hijri date and the Qibla.
SundialThe dial casts the real shadow of the Sun, or the Moon, over Manama.
Drawn by the server just now: this is what it shows in Manama.

Computed live in your browser for Manama from standard astronomical algorithms (NOAA solar position, Meeus lunar theory). Sunrise and sunset are shown as published by Open-Meteo; elevations include atmospheric refraction. Times in Bahrain time. Map of Bahrain in the 3D view: data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Measured directly from the chrony time daemon on this server. No estimated numbers.
Client counts come from chrony's own monitoring of source IPs — NTP is stateless UDP, so there are no persistent “connections”. Jitter is the long-term RMS offset of the server clock; root delay is the round trip to the stratum-1 reference clock at the top of the chain. Uptime is the share of the last 7 days that the time service was synchronised and serving, checked every 30–90 s.
Live conditions from Open-Meteo, refreshed every 10 minutes.
Estimate computed from air temperature, humidity, wind and solar radiation (energy-balance model). Not a direct sensor reading.
Heights from the Open-Meteo ocean model — estimates, not gauge readings.

clock.bh is a free, independent, community-run public NTP time server located in Bahrain, syncing to multiple upstream stratum-1/2 sources and serving time over UDP port 123 to anyone.
It is a hobbyist/public-service project. If you operate a server in Bahrain, consider joining the NTP Pool Project to strengthen the region's time infrastructure.
