I have those radio clocks, which get the hour broadcast (DCF-77) , so i never have to set the time manually it's automatic. :)

What, time? It helps you organise things and refer to certain events easier...

Quoted :: The Wishmaster

Due to something along the lines of soltices.

whats that? As i understand it it was because people were poor and coulndt afford many candles so some guy said put the clocks back when it gets dark erlier and you will save candle light. Its still used today for the same reason apart form people are not poor and insted of candles its electricity.
