## Instance options

|Field|Description|
|-----|-----------|
|Title|Name of the clock, for example New York, NY. The name appears below the clock so it helps to use a name related to the time zone.|
|Timezone|The location from which the time is displayed. Use the local full name, for example, **America/New York**, instead of the abbreviated time zone. Using the full name allows time zones to stay consistent with daylight savings time. The default value is **America/Los Angeles**|
|Second hand color|Color of the second hand using the hex code, RGB, or color name. The default value is **red**.|
