Processing has some nice simple fucntions for seeing what time it is: http://processing.org/reference/hour_.html

As for a GUI, I have done them in a coupld of games I've written. It's not the simplest of procedures though, as to make sure it's not overdrawn by any part of the game world, you have to reset the z-buffer, and possibly the camera, to be able to show the GUI.
