    two, just my car and the microwave.

    Don’t like to brag, but I’ve already fixed the clock in the car…

    The clock in the car can go on its merry way. I can't bring myself to care.

    I haven't changed my stove. I need to do that.

      The Persistence of Memory (often mistaken as "The Persistence of Time") is held at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
      If you are thinking of a similarly named masterpiece by Salvador Dalí, here is where his most famous time-related works are located:
      • The Persistence of Memory (1931) – Featuring the iconic melting clocks, this painting is housed at MoMA in New York City.
      • The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–1954) – Dalí's later reinterpretation of the original work is held at The Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
      If you meant a different piece of art or a specific collection, let me know! Are you planning a visit to see it, or looking for historical details about the painting?

      This one is at the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg. I've seen it. I'd like to see it again.

        Since all of mine except two are antique wind-ups they simply need to be stopped and re-started an hour later. They cannot go backward.

        @Bernard I didn’t know that wind up clocks can’t go backward… well maybe I did but I forgot. 😁

          @ShiroKuro It's probably ok on modern mechanical clocks. But it could have dire consequences for antique chiming clocks.

          The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

            @shirokuro You never wind a mechanical watch backwards, either. I don't even do that with my quartz Casio analog.

                    @Rontuner So presumably it’s connected to… the internet? what year is it?

                      Turns out the car changed itself.

                      Alarm clock is a simple button for DST on/off.

                      Three appliances- stove, microwave, coffeemaker.

                      Took less than 1m in total.

                      I still don’t get all the fuss this issue brings.

                        Four in the kitchen. One in the dining room (analog). One in the car. And one on my desk (battery clock).

                        I think that’s all.

                        Oh, three lamp timers. Oof.
