It's not as elegant as an additional clocklet in a task bar, but how
about running multiple instances of xclock instead?

  #!/bin/sh
  # tzxclock -- run a timezoned instance of xclock
  
  env TZ=$1 xclock -digital -twentyfour -title $1

That wouldn't depend on the specifics of the window manager, and
can still be customized with multiple flags like -fn, -fg, -bg,
-geometry, -strftime etc...
