Daylight Savings Time
 
Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight.

Extra time to chill listening to some great music! :banana:

Excellent!!

Dst should be abolished!!

DST is dead—for four months, anyway.

I am pleased. But I was up over an hour late, so does that negate the benefit? I'll still have to adjust to the schedule change, so maybe not.
:scratch2:

I had some similar thoughts! I'm a clock collector of sorts myself, so changing the clocks is actually a project that takes at least an hour! It takes a bit longer with turning the clocks back, since I'm hesitant to wind some of them backwards (some mechanical and/or chiming clocks. So in some cases, I'll stop the clock, wait an hour, and then restart it.

Nevertheless, I still took Ivan's advise and listened to music for an extra hour, putting me to bed around 1am. :music:

Likewise, resetting my entire watch collection is a nuisance. :sigh:

Ivan....if you're like me (and I've little doubt you are), you also insist that the second hands are synchronized on all the watches, using a single time reference. Maximum allowable error +/- 5 seconds. :lmao:

That's better than COSC specification; tough to achieve with a mechanical.

The only watches I have that consistenty beat COSC spec are my Sinns; most notably my totally bad-ass Sinn EZM3. Inert gas atmosphere, copper sulfate capsule to absorb the ingress of any water molecules (photo by yours truly).

Developed specifically for the German GSG-9 Special Forces Dive Unit. Also, 500M water resistance, not that that matters in the real world.
