It would make much more sense to permanently move the working hours rather than giving clocks a permanent inaccuracy of 1 hour.

As long as it's GMT that the rest of the world conforms to.

In the process switch to the dacade system too.

a 12 hour clock wouldnt work... and dude... its NIGHT TIME, it will fuck everyone over... and where does the standerdized time start? whos going to have the sun rise in the morning and set at night. DST sucks, our time standards now work well enough until something happens to make it more accurate

What model Nixon watch is at 3:55? Looks nice!

[Enrique Man]
