Bug Description

Clock 2.21.5 in Hardy has a nice new feature of letting you add multiple locations to show in the pop-out panel. However, the feature is less useful than it could be because the times are incorrect.

I've added clocks for Sydney (my local timezone), Brisbane (which should be 1h behind) and London (which should be 11h behind.) You can see in the screenshot that the analog clocks are correct, but the digital display is all showing local time.

Hi, I noticed this today..

also:

It shows incorrectly the timezones of say Brisbane and Melbourne both as -2 while one of them should be -3 (because it's not in DST)... the little analog clocks are correct however...
