Daylight Saving Time
Analog clocks with digital displays cannot be wound back, as the flip mechanism operates only in one direction. Instead they must be wound forward 23 hours to achieve the effect of winding back 1 hour at the end of daylight saving time, or by stopping it for an hour. However, on some newer clocks, forward and backward time setting is possible. GE clocks sometimes had this feature.
