now() + integer, not rounded to whole day

Is it possible to add some portion of the day to now() ? I cannot
round now() to whole days like now()::date. Hours, minutes and seconds
are also important to me. This I had in Oracle, and need to convert it
:

sysdate + 1/1440

Thanks for any suggestion.

It's simpler than I thought

now() + (TO_TIMESTAMP('1970-01-01 00:01:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS')
- TO_TIMESTAMP('1970-01-01 00:00:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS'))

You probably wanted to do something like: now() + '1 hour'::interval
