A major
pain in the for a watch collector...especially with the leap year date-change thrown in- I held off a 'fornight' so I only do one adjustment for both!

Ugh, the crown on my wristwatch is broken so I'll have to set the time by taking the watch apart and manually turn the hands

Central European time, same as Berlin or Paris.
6 hours ahead of New York.

If you mean when we change to daylight savings, it's on the 27th like the rest of Europe.

you shall not put the time 1 hour ahead or one hour back - you need to put it aside for 1 hour

Daylight Savings? What, may I ask, is the interest rate?...

There is a growing move in California to opt out of the whole forward and back of the time changes. The supposed advantages to be gained haven't really panned out and recent studies have shown the shifts in time are more detrimental than effective...

Same here in Utah. We've been trying to get rid of it for years, but it hasn't happened yet.

Meanwhile:
