chronos: A global clock designed to eliminate timezone confusion by displaying the UTC time (using letters) alongside the local time. It makes use of vector mathematics and a sprinkle of linear algebra. Written in TypeScript.
The idea is not mine, I just reimplemented what I saw elsewhere.
I think your browser has the page cached; I just tried both Firefox and Chromium and the bug is not there. When I load the page, it shows Q:28 (at the moment of writing this), and after I switch the timezone, it still displays that, i.e., the letter does not change. Please try fetching a fresh page and let me know if you continue to see the issue.
I'm still seeing it. The short hand of the clock should point to the same letter as mentioned in the textual time, right (which means that the inner dial with the letters has an angle determined by the time zone)? That isn't the case. (my timezone: US Central)

The use of letters for the time is unfortunate, since nautical timezones already use letters, but in a different way. [1] (A-M going east of Zulu, N-Y going west).
This would make more sense if you adopted the same system, so that Z:00 was midnight in time zone Z.
