ClockDemo.java

import java.time.Clock;
import java.time.Duration;

public class ClockDemo
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Clock baseClock = Clock.systemUTC();
        System.out.println("instant of baseClock = " + baseClock.instant());

        Duration tickDuration = Duration.ofDays(300);
        System.out.println("tickDuration = " + tickDuration);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * baseClock - the base clock to base the ticking clock on,
         * not null
         *
         * tickDuration - the duration of each visible tick, not
         * negative, not null
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * a clock that ticks in whole units of the duration,
         * not null
         */

        Clock clock = Clock.tick(baseClock, tickDuration);

        System.out.println("instant of clock     = " + clock.instant());
    }

}

Output

instant of baseClock = 2018-02-13T03:41:00.886Z
tickDuration = PT7200H
instant of clock     = 2017-08-22T00:00:00Z
