Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Auckland is 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Montevideo.
Shoot for 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Auckland; your Montevideo colleagues will see that as 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Montevideo is 15 hours behind Auckland. That's only 1 hour of overlap, so pair live calls with async follow-ups to make the most of it. The date rolls over between them: Montevideo is on the previous day relative to Auckland during these hours. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Auckland observes it, Montevideo doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
