Learn how to design a clock with HTML and CSS. Add hour and minute hands to create a functional clock with CSS animation.
Table of Contents
A clock shape with minute and hour hands is a visual representation of a clock or timepiece, typically displayed on a screen. It consists of a circular shape that represents the clock face, with two hands pointing to the current time. The shorter hand, known as the minute hand, points to the current minute, while the longer hand, known as the hour hand, points to the current hour.
This is a pure CSS clock shape. It uses CSS animations and shapes, without any images or JavaScript. It's only a clock shape, not a real-time working clock.

Let's start making an amazing clock shape with a minute and hour hand using HTML and Pure CSS step by step.
Source Code
Step 1 (HTML Code):
To get started, we will first need to create a basic HTML file. In this file, we will include the main structure for our clock shape.
After creating the files just paste the following codes into your file. Remember that you must save a file with the .html extension.
Step 2 (CSS Code):
Next, we will create our CSS file. In this file, we will use some basic CSS rules to create our clock shape and clock hands. We will also add some padding and margin properties to ensure that everything looks correct.
This will give our clock an upgraded presentation. Create a CSS file with the name of styles.css and paste the given codes into your CSS file. Remember that you must create a file with the .css extension.
