The program you want is called "tzwatch" and it's universe.

It's a *very* simple program that is very useful. First, you choose a
list of timezones that you want to know. Then you run it and it tells
you exactly what time it is in your list of timezones. I have a long
list of zones I care about so it goes like this:
