If you don't mind an extra program loading, I use Speaking Clock, which puts
the time in hours, minutes, and seconds, plus the date in the system tray.
I don't have a Braille display, but if you can read the icons in the System
Tray, it should work.

you mean shift+f10 right?  I've tried widening the window where the clock
resides with no luck.  If I use the shortcut to date and time, it takes me
to where I set the date and time, not where I view it.

You won't be able to do an alt-enter on the date/time program in your
control panel. You do an alt-f10 and you'll be given two choices: "open" and
"create shortcut". Click on "create shortcut". You should now have a
shortcut on the desktop that will say "shortcut to date-time". Get out of
your control panel, since you're done with it. You can now hit s until you
hear "shortcut to date-time". You do your alt-enter on that shortcut.
Feel free to ask again if you have more questions. You can rename that
shortcut to anything you like; you just can't use a slash.
