A radio interface is provided for connecting the clock to a wireless network. The clock is provided with a display on which a clock face element is displayed to enable the user to operate the clock according to the operating system. There is a local storage where the data files associated with the clock face element are stored. The local storage permits the storage of a plurality of clock face elements and means for managing the clock face element such that the user can select one out of the plurality of stored clock face elements. In addition to that, a server is suggested which provides a website on which a selection of clack face elements are displayed. A user can select a specific clock face element for download out of a plurality of clock face elements. The server comprises a download manager which executes the download of the data files associated with a selected clock face element to a receiving device. The server is a remote device from which clock face elements can be downloaded if the clock face elements stored on the clock cannot satisfy the needs of a specific user. Finally, a system is suggested which comprises the suggested clock and the suggested server.
