I might be missing something in your question here... but from what I can gather, by using the subtract method this should be what you're looking to do:

var timeStr = "00:03:15";
    timeStr = timeStr.split(':');

var h = timeStr[1],
    m = timeStr[2];

var newTime = moment("01:20:00 06-26-2014")
    .subtract({'hours': h, 'minutes': m})
    .format('hh:mm');

var str = h + " hours and " + m + " minutes earlier: " + newTime;

console.log(str); // 3 hours and 15 minutes earlier: 10:05

Michael Richardson s solution is great  If you would like to subtract dates  because Google will point you here if you search for it   you could also say   var date1   moment   2014-06-07 00 03 00     var date2   moment   2014-06-07 09 22 00      differenceInMs   date2 diff date1      diff yields milliseconds duration   moment duration differenceInMs      moment duration accepts ms differenceInMinutes   duration asMinutes       if you would like to have the output 559

There is a simple function subtract which moment library gives us to subtract time from some time  Using it is also very simple   moment Date now    subtract 7   days       This will subtract 7 days from current time moment Date now    subtract 3   d       This will subtract 3 days from current time    You can do this for days  years  months  hours  minutes  seconds   You can also subtract multiple things simulatneously    You can chain it like this  moment Date now    subtract 3   d   subtract 5   h       This will subtract 3 days and 5 hours from current time    You can also use it as object literal moment Date now    subtract  days 3  hours 5       This will subtract 3 days and 5 hours from current time   Hope this helps

You can create a much cleaner implementation with Moment js Durations  No manual parsing necessary    x000D   x000D  var time   moment duration  00 03 15    x000D  var date   moment  2014-06-07 09 22 06    x000D  date subtract time   x000D      MomentRocks   text date format    x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 11 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt script src    cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs moment js 2 8 4 moment js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt span id  MomentRocks  gt  lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
