Not sure what "istant time" is. 
Youcould install ntp on your own machine and it would then keep the clock
on your own system "accurate". (Note that AFAIK windows does not keep time
to any better than about 1/10 of a sec. You cannot read it to msec. Note
that your eyes and brain cannot process the time to better than 1/10 of a
sec, and your reaction time is not better than that, so you could not read
a remote machine and get anything better than 1/10 sec resolution)

Some servers will respond to an rdate request, although that process is
pretty much died.

You want this for what purpose?
