We had a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 way back when. It had a very clever clock. Whenever you moved it forward, it figured that it had been running slow, so it would run a little bit faster.

So, very cool, eventually the clock would get more and more accurate overtime.

Except...DST. A one hour adjustment. It would just be getting back to accurate 6 months later. Rinse and repeat....
