Could UTC Replace Time Zones?
Swatch once tried to kill time zones with .beats. But could UTC be the serious replacement the world actually needs? -
Keep meetings inside 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai — that maps to 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM in Munich. With 6 hours of daily overlap, these two cities are an easy pairing; almost any reasonable hour works. Remember that Munich shifts for daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change. To edit hours, add more timezones, and share with your team, create a free collaborative board.
