Try looking in `time.el`, especially around the function `world-clock`..

Did you mean different location as a time zone?

Or different location of time on the modeline maybe?

Knowing the local time, get time zones at other places.

M-x world-clock

and to set it up, configure variable: world-clock-list

and to know what to write in world-clock-list, I use on GNU/Linux
following shell command:

$ tzselect

then I use the information from tzselect in world-clock-list

You can also try with: M-x world-time-list

I cannot implement the details exactly.  Would you have an example that
returns the time at a different location?

world-clock-list ➜ (("America/Los_Angeles" "Seattle") ("America/New_York" "New York & Florida") ("Europe/London" "London") ("Europe/Paris" "Paris") ("Asia/Calcutta" "Bangalore") ("Asia/Tokyo" "Tokyo") ("Europe/Copenhagen" "Copenhagen") ("Asia/Shanghai" "Shanghai") ("Africa/Kampala" "Kampala") ("Europe/Moscow" "Moscow") ("Asia/Kolkata" "Nagpur, India") ("Africa/Nairobi" "Tanzania") ("Asia/Hong_Kong" "Hong Kong") ("Europe/Athens" "Greece"))

M-x world-clock
