Some have some kind of date tracking built in. But it's fairly rare.
I feel like mechanical clocks to account for daylight savings this would be a bit off after one or two leap years; could be doable but a bit complicated to design? Kinda fun to think about
I mean they would be, but that would still be much less clock-changing to do.
Definitely. I'm still going to spend time fascinated by the idea of the gearing and clockwork to make a clock that tracks year/month/day and accounts for leap years.
I'd be more than okay with permanent standard time, myself.
