Timing
The global countdown
This page uses one official UTC timestamp. Your device checks a trusted time source, estimates its offset, and then counts locally.
Official event status
The global moment
Coming soon
The official event time will be announced here.
The global moment will be announced soon. No date is shown until an authorised UTC time is published. The official time will be the single source for every countdown.
Not yet synchronised
This device has not obtained a reliable time estimate.
The official event time is expressed in UTC and shown here in your local time. A connected device checks a trusted clock occasionally, then calculates the countdown locally. It does not ask the server every second, and it does not wait for a livestream.
Connected reference devices are tested with an engineering objective of staying within 100 milliseconds of UTC under suitable conditions. That figure is a measurement goal. It is not a promise that every voice will be heard at the same instant.
No official event configuration is saved on this device yet.
How the countdown works
- Synchronised: the device has recently checked its time against a trusted time source.
- Limited accuracy: the device is offline, or the timing confidence is reduced.
- Not yet synchronised: the device has not obtained a reliable time estimate.
Daylight-saving changes are handled by your device’s time zone when the official UTC instant is converted into local time. The UTC instant itself does not move.
If the connection fails
Use the pack you opened earlier. An offline clock can drift, and this page will not call that clock synchronised unless a trusted check supports it.
