A meeting booked for just after lunch is the one most likely to catch someone out, because the morning overruns and nothing interrupts the drift. This page counts down to 1:22 pm exactly, updating continuously, which is more reliable than a mental note to check back in a bit.
The figure on this page comes from your own device's clock, checked continuously and recalculated every second against 1:22 pm. There is nothing to press and nothing to set up first — the count is already running by the time the page has finished loading, and it keeps going while you are looking at it.
Said out loud, 1:22 pm usually comes out as twenty-two minutes past one in the afternoon rather than as a string of digits. Spoken and written time diverge more than people expect, which is worth remembering when somebody tells you a time over the phone and you are trying to match it against something printed.
Common questions
Will this alert me when the time arrives?
No. It is a live number rather than an alarm — nothing rings, buzzes or notifies you at zero. If you need to be interrupted at 1:22 pm, set an alarm as well and treat this page as the running total.
Is it affected by the clocks changing?
Only in the sense that your device is. When the change between GMT and BST happens at the end of March and October, the device adjusts and the countdown follows it without anything to do here.
What is 13:22 in the 12-hour clock?
That is 1:22 pm, or twenty-two minutes past one in the afternoon if you are saying it aloud. From 13:00 onwards, subtracting twelve gives the pm figure — the same moment written three different ways.
Does the number update by itself?
Yes. It recalculates every second from your device's clock, so there is nothing to refresh or restart. Whatever is on screen is the current gap to the target time, not a figure worked out when the page first loaded.
