How many clocks do you have to change?
-
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.

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

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.

Oh for the record, I don't either! I was just laughing at how many clocks we have.
Also FTR, I really don't want them to do away with DST, move to permanent standard time or DST. I love the late, late summer evenings when it's light until practically 9:30pm, and I would hate for it to be super dark in the mornings all winter long.
I get that changing the time comes with some issues, but I prefer it to the alternatives (as I understand them).

Yeah few people seem to know that we went off of DST in the 70s and reversed ourselves within a year.
The vast majority of people who are against it aren’t thinking about the effects on half the year, they’re thinking only about not having to change clocks twice a year, as if everything else stays the same.
Of course for southern states it wouldn’t matter too much. But in the north, especially on the western edge of time zones, it would be a big deal.
