You may have to change the time on your clock for many reasons. The most common is probably daylight saving. Clocks may be a little fast or slow, eg. gains a second every 24 hours. Also some old-fashioned clocks may need to be winded regularly for the clock to work, and if you forget, it is taken for granted that you would like the correct time. Also, if, for example, your school bell times are important, you may change your clock to reflect the time of the bells.
The only clock which doesn't need changing clock time is the atomic clock, because what it does is it measures some things in the air (octo-something) and it performs a complicated mathematical equation to figure out exactly what time it is.

How to insure that all clocks in your home have the same time?
Don’t you just love it when we change the clocks to Day Light Savings Time? Most people like to have that extra house of daylight. On the other hand, however, that means changing all the clocks in the house.Most people have more than a few clocks in their home. There is at least one kitchen wall clock and the microwave and stove have clocks. The bedroom has at least one alarm clock, as does the guest room. The kids have a clock or two in their rooms. Some people have clocks in the bathrooms. There are clocks in the living room and family room, the hall and the garage. Don’t forget the clock in the car. Thank goodness computer clocks change by automatically!If you are tired of every clock in the house having a different time, there is an easy way to remedy that. The next time you have to reset the clocks, first re-set your digital watch. Turn on your satellite or cable TV service. The time shown on the screen is accurate. Set your digital watch by that time. Once you set the watch, then walk through your house and start in the kitchen. Set all the kitchen clocks to the time on your digital watch. Next do the bedroom clocks, and the living room and family room clocks. Take a walk into the garage and change those clocks, and the clocks in your vehicles.Follow that easy plan and all the clocks in your home will have the exact same time. If you have a lot of eclectic clocks, such as those in the microwave and stove, when the power goes out you will have to re-set the clocks again. Make sure your digital watch has the correct time as per cable or satellite TV, and then fix the clocks that lost power.If most of your clocks run on battery power, then you will not have a problem, unless the battery dies. If it does, again use your digital watch as the base time.Having all the clocks in your home displaying the exact same time will make it easier for everyone to know the correct time.
