Current time information for Bern / / Europe
Where the adjustment for time zones results in a time at the other side of midnight from UTC, then the date at the location is one day later or earlier.
The time-zone adjustment for a specific location may vary because of daylight saving time
For example New Zealand, which is usually UTC+12, observes a one-hour daylight saving time adjustment during the Southern Hemisphere summer, resulting in a local time of UTC+13.
Time zone conversions for Bern
Conversion between time zones obeys the relationship
"time in zone A" − "UTC offset for zone A" = "time in zone B" − "UTC offset for zone B",
in which each side of the equation is equivalent to UTC
(The more familiar term "UTC offset" is used here rather than the term "zone designator" used by the standard.)
The conversion equation can be rearranged to "time in zone B" = "time in zone A" − "UTC offset for zone A" + "UTC offset for zone B".
For example, what time is it in Los Angeles (UTC offset= −08) when the New York Stock Exchange opens at 09:30 (−05)?
time in Los Angeles = 09:30 − (−05:00) + (−08:00) = 06:30
In Delhi (UTC offset= +5:30), the New York Stock Exchange opens at
time in Delhi = 09:30 − (−05:00) + (+5:30) = 20:00
These calculations become more complicated near a daylight saving boundary (because the UTC offset for zone X is a function of the UTC time).
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established in 1675 when the Royal Observatory was built as an aid to (English) mariners to determine longitude at sea
At the time, each town's local clock in the area was calibrated to its local noon
Therefore, each clock across England had a slightly different time
The first time zone in the world was established by British railway companies on December 1, 1847—with GMT kept by portable chronometers
This quickly became known as Railway Time from Switzerland
About August 23, 1852, time signals were first transmitted by telegraph from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich
