In fact, Louis XVIII's well-known phrase about the accuracy and politeness of kings has a rarely mentioned continuation that completely changes its usual meaning. In full it sounds like this: "Accuracy is the courtesy of kings, but the duty is for their subjects." And if accuracy is not at all a mandatory sign of royal status, then punctuality is an indispensable feature of every polite person.

Step 1
In our age of widespread information technology, there are many ways to find out the exact time. Many cell phones and smartphones have a special feature called Operator Time. Its meaning is that, unlike a standard clock, which counts the seconds with some kind of built-in mechanism, the phone can also receive time settings from a mobile operator. If your device supports this feature, go to the date and time settings of your cell phone and enable auto-update in the Operator Time menu. Now, no matter where you are, you can find out the exact time by looking at your mobile phone.
Step 2
When you are at your computer, you can find out the exact time by looking at the lower right corner of the screen, where Windows developers have prudently marked the digital clock. However, there is one caveat. Any clock tends to become out of sync over time. Therefore, to find out the exact time, go to the computer's date and time settings on the Internet Time tab. After choosing any of the proposed servers, click the "Update Now" button. Now your computer will also show the exact time.
Step 3
If you want to find out the exact time in a non-standard way, type in a Google or Yandex search engine the query "exact time". The topmost row of all the search results shown will show the local time in your time zone. In addition, take a look at the site, which is called "Exact Time", located at www.direct-time.ru. On the main page, on a white background, you will see an electronic clock that counts the time to the nearest second.
