There is no specific unix command for this, but this be handled by a bit of shell script.

With bash (the standard shell provided with most Linux distro):

while [ 1 ]; do date "+%T"; sleep 60; done

With a small tweak you can remove the scrolling with `while [ 1 ]; do echo -en \`date "+%T"\`"\r"; sleep 60; done` – Tigger Nov 01 '16 at 05:52
