Abstract
In a time keeping system providing time of day by radio signal to remote time keeping devices, the transmitted time of day is provided in association with a given time zone identification. The time keeping devices receiving the time of day reference and the time zone identification include a time zone preference identification. By comparing the time zone preference and the time zone identification transmitted, the time keeping device can, when necessary, offset the received time of day value according to user preference for display relative to a preferred time zone.
