Nice!

One minor thing is that it display my local time (Rio de Janeiro) as if we were on daylight saving (+1 hours), which we aren't since beginning of March.

Yes it does not take into account local daylight savings time. Its a bit different depending on where in the world one is, and I don't know the specifics of all the places, so I decided to just go with checking that gmt time was and then adding or subtracting depending on time zone. It was all I felt I had time to do before the deadline, but I am sure it would probably be possible to acount for it, provided I had time to research how to check these things.

I was kind of surprised that Great Falls, MT was omitted. I thought it was one of those pivotal cities.

you could I guess expand on it and have 1 clock for each hour around the world, picling the closest city the that timezone, its a cool idea and I am sure takes up less wall space that alot of real clocks  ;D

I can see how coding the clocks for correct "daylight savings" time might be tricky, due to some countries doing this at different times to others, and some don't do this at all.

Great display of time pieces.
