The X11 R2 xclock usage message indicates that you can
specify a non-default display by using a -d flag:
Usage: xclock [-analog] [-bw <pixels>] [-digital]
[-fg <color>] [-bg <color>] [-hd <color>]
[-hl <color>] [-bd <color>]
[-fn <font_name>] [-help] [-padding <pixels>]
[-rv] [-update <seconds>] [-d [<host>]:[<vs>]]
[-g =[<width>][x<height>][<+-><xoff>[<+-><yoff>]]]
But if you try to use -d, you get the usage message again:
ariadne% xclock -d ariadne:0
Usage: xclock [-analog] [-bw <pixels>] [-digital]
[-fg <color>] [-bg <color>] [-hd <color>]
[-hl <color>] [-bd <color>]
[-fn <font_name>] [-help] [-padding <pixels>]
[-rv] [-update <seconds>] [-d [<host>]:[<vs>]]
[-g =[<width>][x<height>][<+-><xoff>[<+-><yoff>]]]
You must use -display to specify the display.
