Does anyone have any information if this applet is safe? It is the personalized version of the World Time Clock.
If you’re referring to the following,

It’s considered safe by both avast! and WOT and virustotal
Based on what Bob posted I would give this app a wide berth, not specifically because the app isn’t safe, but because JAVA is a huge target for malware. JAVA is non-essential unless you have an application or web site that you must use/visit then it is safest to avoid installing JAVA at all.
Since this app uses a JAVA applet I just wonder if it is vulnerable to JAVA exploits.
If there is a non-JAVA version that would be another option.
