There is a Dashboard Widget available at macupdate. There's also a little display that will sit in your menu and give a constant readout here.

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can install the swatch internet time sidebar gadget. - broken link

On Windows XP/Vista/7 (and MacOS X >10.3), you could try Yahoo! Widgets. Therearemultiplewidgetsavailable.

Please note that Windows sets the BIOS time to your local time rather than UTC, which might result in a false time when using other systems in Dual Boot mode.
