World Timer and Daylight Savings Time law

PandaSPUR

Our timezones arent even in sync with Europe right now anyway. Europe makes the jump to DST two weeks after the US does.
Its stupid and fucks up my calendar when I have international meetings right before/after domestic meetings.

9AM meeting with London, 10AM meeting locally was fine a few weeks ago. Now they're overlapping at 10AM until Europe makes the jump on the 26/27th.

Yup. Painfully aware of the. Always screws me up twice a year. Another thing I never understood.

Hope you enjoy your 1.6535” size watches as you should be banned from using mm from this day forth .

If I recall correctly, some of the earliest world timers use city names which are out of date! (E.g., Bombay).

So… it seems like this type of watch will always carry a risk of becoming “obsolete”. To put a positive spin on it though, if it does fall out of date, you could consider it to refer back to a more “classical era”.

Indeed that’s another good point. I have no idea why all of a sudden North America decided that “Peking” was a bad word. While continental Europe still officially uses it. There is really nothing wrong with it. Not sure what happened with Bombay. Close enough in my book.

As for Bombay, that was the name for Mumbai under British rule.
