Clock

On March 26 Bulgaria switches back to daylight saving time.

Clocks will be adjusted one hour forward at 3 am sharp on Sunday morning. Thus, people will sleep one hour less tonight. According to psychologists, one needs a fortnight to adapt to the new rhythm.

In 1986, American mathematician and inventor Danny Hillis designed a clock that came to be known as the “Clock of the Long Now,” or the “10,000-year clock”.

Turkey will continue to implement daylight savings time throughout the entire year and will not roll back its clocks an hour on Oct. 30, according to a cabinet decision announced in the Official Gazette on Sept. 7.
      

The famous chimes of Big Ben will fall silent next year as the 160-year-old parliamentary clock tower undergoes essential repairs as part of a 29 million-pound ($42 million) project. 

The tower will be partially covered in scaffolding for three years, although engineers plan to keep at least one of the four clock faces always visible. 

Bulgaria will move to summer time at 3 a.m. local standard time on Sunday, March 27.

Clocks are to be turned forward 1 hour to 4 a.m. local daylight time instead, which means there will be more light in the evenings.

Daylight Saving Time in Turkey will end on Nov. 8, instead of Oct. 25, because of the upcoming snap election on Nov. 1.

Clocks across the country will be switched back by one hour at 4 a.m., which will then become 3 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8.

The clocks across Turkey were last put forward to Daylight Saving Time for an hour on March 29 to save electricity.

Clock tower projects planned to be built in city centers are booming in towns and cities across Turkey.

Municipality projects for the construction of clock towers have gained momentum over the last six months, with hundreds of municipalities across the country initiating tenders for clock towers of various shapes and sizes.

Daylight saving time will start at 3 a.m. on Sunday, March 29, when clocks will have to be advanced by one hour to show 4 a.m. The new time means more daylight in the evening hours. The time change will run until Sunday, October 25.

BELGRADE - The clock tower of the Belgrade fortress, built in the 18th century - from 1740 to 1789 - will be opened to visitors on Thursday, April 10.

Once the reconstruction of access routes and works on the clock mechanism are complete, the tower will once again be open to sightseers every day.

At 3 am on March 30, Bulgarians moved clocks one hour forward to 4 am, switching to Daylight Savings Time.

Clocks are advanced by one hour in spring and moved back in autumn, to make the most of seasonal daylight.

DST is observed in all of the countries of Europe except Iceland, Belarus, and Russia.
