What do you do when the hour changes?

My grandmother had severe arthritis and her fingers lacked the fine control needed to set her watch. So she simply kept it set to the same time zone all year round and made a mental note to subtract one hour for half the year.

If the BIPM redefines how long an hour is, I guess we'll just have to ditch our Casios and start using Swatch internet time.

One can only hope, it's a beautiful concept that would make life easier for non Americans consuming a lot of live media produced in the US

Honestly, if it'd been UTC-centered instead of UTC+1 where Swatch is headquartered, I'd probably have pushed harder for it. I really like the concept.

Some countries/states don't have that issue.
