The only real problem with daylight savings for me is this kind of thing, because they can’t be adjusted anticlockwise.

The fuck is that? Could be a very nice medieval torture device. Or a beautiful mechanical clock.

The grand sonnerie / westminster / grandfathe clock (2 or 3 barrels - mainsprings) with relative train wheels. The snail like feature in the middle is what tells the chime how to tell the time - with the mallets. two or three mallets. Setting the time anticlockwise undoes the sync between the time on the dial and the chime. Even worse in perpetual calendars like these, where the time must be synced with the 100-years worth of calculations done by the complications, a problem that happens even while letting it idle for too long, because you’d have to manually set date, year, decade, moonphase, and everything else. But i’m too poor to own one of them. Image
