Win32_CurrentTime class
The Win32_CurrentTime abstract is a singleton WMI class that describes a point in time by using the component items, such as milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, days of the week, week in the month, months, quarters, and years.
The following two important classes are derived from this class. Win32_LocalTime allows you to monitor time in local reference and Win32_UTCTime allows you to monitor time in coordinated universal time (UTC) reference.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Remarks
You cannot subscribe to events with this class because it is abstract and cannot have instances. However, use either Win32_LocalTime or Win32_UTCTime to subscribe to events.
Examples
The following PowerShell code sample displays both local and UTC time.
# Get Local Time and UTC Time
$Localtime, $UTCTime = gwmi win32_currenttime
# Display local and UTC time
"Local Time:"
" Day : {0}" -f $localtime.day
" Day Of Week : {0}" -f $localtime.dayofweek
" Hour : {0}" -f $localtime.hour
" Milliseconds : {0}" -f $localtime.Milliseconds
" Minute : {0}" -f $localtime.minute
" Month : {0}" -f $localtime.month
" Quarter : {0}" -f $localtime.quarter
" Second : {0}" -f $localtime.second
" Week in Month : {0}" -f $localtime.weekinmonth
" Year : {0}" -f $localtime.year
""
# Display UTC
"UTC Time:"
" Day : {0}" -f $UTCTime.day
" Day Of Week : {0}" -f $UTCTime.dayofweek
" Hour : {0}" -f $UTCTime.hour
" Milliseconds : {0}" -f $UTCTime.Milliseconds
" Minute : {0}" -f $UTCTime.minute
" Month : {0}" -f $UTCTime.month
" Quarter : {0}" -f $UTCTime.quarter
" Second : {0}" -f $UTCTime.second
" Week in Month : {0}" -f $UTCTime.weekinmonth
" Year : {0}" -f $UTCTime.year
