I did the same but mine were set to New York time. So if you swap one of yours for one of mine maybe someone will have the others! LOL.

Because time was invented in Britain, by the British. The actual site is in Greenwich, which is not a gay suburb of New York, it's a village in Southern England, close to London.
We don't know precisely *when* time was invented, because we hadn't invented it at the time. This is why you have never seen any coins minted with the date "B.C." (Before Clocks).
Clock manufacture was perfected in Switzerland in the year 17 A.D. (After Dinner) along with the "After Eight mint". This was due to a shortage of cuckoos in England, because they had all pursued careers in government, and are still there today.
Sorry for the long answer, but in short it's whatever time we say it is.

Doctor Who, Timelord

It's 1:52 PM (Pacific TIme)
That would make it 4:52 PM (Eastern ''New York'' Time)
That would make it 9:52 PM (British Summer Time ''London UK' )
That would make it 5:52 AM (Hiroshima ''Japan'' Time) The following day
That would make it 6:52 AM (Perth ''Sydney'' Time) The following day

Nah, I just checked. The world stopped spinning. It's the same time everywhere now.

Time zones are an alien conspiracy. The time is always now.

I think you have to set the clocks yourself to reflect the different times...
