      Hi,

      QTime
      QTimer
      QLabel

      Use a one second QTimer to trigger a slot into which you grab the current time using QTime and show the string representation of it on a QLabel.

        See the digital clock example on how to use a QTimer to display the time. You could sub-class QLabel instead of QLCDNumber as in the example and use its setText() method to display the current time when the slot is called.

          In addition to @mchinand, there's also the Analog Clock example for a less digital looking UI.
