I've created a widget to run a 60 secs countdown clock.

When entering 60 in S, the clock displays/starts from 59 secs (doesn't show 60).....the only way around this is to have a 1 min (01:00) count down clock, but the client would prefer the graphic to display 60 secs and then countdown to zero.

Any advice would be appreciated

I know what you mean with this :-). My solution: I set the clock at 00:01:01:000 and the format to "SS" and "When Online" at the Start option. When you display it this way from the sequencer, you won't see the 61 but it starts immediate from 60...
The other solution is to set the clock to 00:01:000 (also "SS" as format) and "Manual" at the Start Option. The clock will start at your command from 60.
