A countdown to midnight in your time zone
The new year starts at a different moment in every time zone. This countdown uses your device’s clock, so it reaches zero at midnight where you are, not in New York or London. In the last minute, the seconds make it a ready-made midnight countdown for a party screen: open it on a laptop or TV and press the full-screen key of your browser.
