At the beginning and end of daylight saving time, only 40% of the countries change the time and every time the question arises, forward or backward.
“Spring forward, fall back” is the motto in English-speaking countries and the Germans follow the mnemonic: always turn towards summer – forward in spring, backward in winter.
The dates for the time change are as follows:
27.03. and 30.10.2022
26.03. and 29.10.2023
31.03. and 27.10.2024
30.03. and 26.10.2025
29.03. and 25.10.2026
How do I set the correct time on the cuckoo clock?
- Turn the minute hand counterclockwise
- ATTENTION! Never turn the hour hand, this could damage the watch
- If the time is not correct, you can turn the minute hand clockwise for minimum adjustment
- When you get to 12 or 6 (some clocks are 3 and 9), you must stop. If the clock plays a melody here, you have to wait until it has finished.
- If the clock runs too fast after setting, you have to pull the pendulum down a little, if it runs too slow, the pendulum has to be set in a higher position.
- It is possible that the clock has to be reset every 8 days. This is because the pendulum moves downwards due to the momentum and the clock runs slower.
And if you don't care about the time change, you can look at cuckoo clocks in nature in the Black Forest.
