Clock time zones
So, by default Scratch doesn't offer timezones.
With a little math, I'm sure you can make different variations of the clock for each timezone?
So, say it's 5:00, perhaps in Africa, it's 1:00. We see a 4-hour difference, so simply create a script that will move back the times for the timezone based on one-time zone.
I'd provide you with the code, but I think you will feel more accomplished if you did this yourself.

Clock time zones
Unfortunately, as Laphatize said, timezones aren't available in Scratch. However, you don't need to worry about timezones if you're just making a clock that shows the time.
It doesn't show the American time specifically, but instead it shows the time on the user's computer. (I know from experience because I made my clock project in Hong Kong and moved to the U.S. but it's still accurate)
Therefore, the clock will adjust itself to whatever the user's local time is. There's no need to change anything
(If you want to test it yourself you can change the time on your computer)

The time displays differently depending on where the user is located

@gtoal made a project that works out what time zone the user is in.

How do you set a clock to show the timezone that the creator of the project is in and only the creators?

This block goes off GMT time, no matter what your time is, it is great for certain situations since you can use a bit of maths to get any time zone!

The
(current [ v])block uses your computer's time, so unless it's a world clock you don't relay need to get time-zone information.

your computer time is probably off from what your time zone is from what I understand scratch uses your current location to find your time zone the uses that to set the time.

I made a project named, Current time on your country.
I used a set that had a clock from someone else.
Separated the hands.
And coded them.
Now it is working functionally
