About clocks in view somewhe I'm a bit amazed twice a year, changing
to or from Daylight Saving Time. There are well over a dozen devices I
have to reset.

How many of those dozen devices are sundials? No criticism expressed
or implied. I'm just curious how you handle daylight savings time
with your sundials.

If the device is mechanical, then set the time to GMT and do the DST
conversion in your head when you read the dial or digits. I did that
for a while. After a few months, the conversion became almost
automatic.

If the device is electronic, then it must be quite old. Most
everything sold these days has some way to automatically set daylight
savings time. Upgrade?

One source of clock irritation are the various consumer weather
stations that use WWVB to set the time and adjust for DST. The use of
WWVB (Boulder Colorado) implies that it's used in North America. So,
these weather stations only support 4 time zones and can't be set to
GMT or allow DST to be disabled.
