Turn back the clock (winter time)
Last night it happened again, we changed to winter time and "gained" an hour in the process. For classic car drivers, however, the changeover is not over yet, as the clocks in old cars are not changed automatically via the navigation or GSM signal, as is the case in many modern vehicles.
However, this is not a major problem in very old cars, because in the early days, clocks were almost exclusively fitted with mechanical movements and they stopped after a certain time anyway, even if they had a long power reserve as advertised. Nowadays, these clocks are usually reset every time they are driven. The situation is similar with clocks that are electrically operated, but of course also stopped when the power was disconnected to prolong the life of the battery.
This means that those electric clocks whose power supply was always intact would have to be reset by one hour. In most cases, analog clocks can be adjusted very simply by turning a knob, whereas digital versions require a little more thought. However, it hardly takes more than a minute, so the remaining 59 minutes of the time change are actually "gained".
