Try this :

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Label1.Text = Now.Hour & ":" & Now.Minute & ":" & Now.Second
End Sub

Hi,

He're some examples how to play with Dates and Time.
See, wich one you need:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Label1.Text = TimeOfDay.ToLongTimeString
        Label2.Text = DateAndTime.Now.ToString
    End Sub
