We have to remember to change the time on all of the clocks we own when the clocks go ahead to British Summer Time on the last Sunday in March and back to Greenwich Mean Time on the last Sunday in October.
Here’s how to change the clock in all models that fall under the current range to try and make your life a little bit easier. The clocks can generally be divided into two groups: those that have physical adjustment buttons and those that use the Remote Touch Interface in the car.

Adjusting the time using physical buttons
There are physical buttons next to the clock display that can be used to change the clock on CT and IS models without satellite navigation.
Three buttons are situated next to the digital clock in the CT. Hours and minutes are represented by the two on the left, “H” and “M,” and pressing the corresponding button will move the corresponding digit. When the ‘:00’ button on the right is hit, the clock will be rounded to the nearest hour.
The IS has an analog clock with two tiny buttons on either side of it. If you want to advance the hands clockwise until the desired time is achieved, press the button on the right. If you want to move the hands counter-clockwise to advance the time, use the button on the left.
Adjusting the time using the Remote Touch Interface
The majority of brand-new Lexus cars don’t have physical buttons to change the clock. Instead, it is automatically adjusted to match the GPS of the navigation. Nevertheless, utilizing the car’s Remote Touch Interface, you may still change the settings or manually change the time.
Press the “MENU” button on the Remote Touch, choose “General settings,” and then “Clock.” Your time zone, whether or not you want daylight saving time to be in effect, and whether or not you want the clock to automatically adapt are the three options that you can set here.

How do I set the iPhone’s clock?
By default, your location is used to automatically set the date and time that are displayed on the Lock Screen. You can modify them if you like, for instance when you’re traveling.
Set any of the following to on:
Set Automatically: Your iPhone adjusts the time to reflect your current time zone after obtaining the accurate time over the network. In some nations or places, the iPhone might not be able to automatically detect the local time since some networks do not support network time.
24-hour period (not available in all countries or regions) The hours on an iPhone are shown from 0 to 23.

Can you reverse the clock hands?
The majority of mechanical clocks can be set backwards, however some cannot. So why is this a widespread misunderstanding? Around the turn of the century, a lot of American clocks were constructed with non-reversible hands. The movements were really simple and were mass made so that the average person could purchase them. A basic eight-day spring wind clock with an alarm was available for $1 or $1.25 around the year 1900.
It has been customary to simply go ahead with the sensitive hands as a result of the popularity of these inexpensive clocks. These clocks were purchased by our great-grandparents, and they have been passed down through the generations with the instruction, “Never turn the hands backwards! This has been taken to be a general guideline for all mechanical clocks. Even many clockmakers nowadays are hesitant to advise their clients otherwise for fear that they would wind the wrong clock backwards.
So how can you know whether your clock has a backwards-compensating mechanism? If you’ve only ever turned the hands forward, I’d advise continuing to do so until you’ve had the clock examined by a seasoned clockmaker. They will be in a position to provide you with comprehensive advice on how to use your clock safely. Don’t worry too much if you unintentionally turned the hands backwards and thought your clock might be ruined. It’s likely that your clock has to be readjusted or perhaps fixed. Typically, it is not a serious or expensive issue.
How is a vintage clock reset?
When the mantel clock chimes incorrectly, the chime is not in sync with the time of the clock. To change the chime on your mantel clock, do as follows:
Adjusting the Hourly Chime
- Count the number of times the chimes on your mantel clock. Your hourly striker is set to this time.
- Set the hour hand to the hour that the hourly chime indicates (count the number of gongs at the hour).
- The chime should also change as the time is set by moving the minute hand to the appropriate hour.
Adjusting the Quarter Chime
The minute hand, which is friction-fit on the majority of mantel clocks, is easily removable. The tube must be squeezed in order to become loose. Reinstall the minute hand at the right time after it has been removed. The minute hand can then be turned to reset the time from there.
How can I fix the Lexus clock?
Select “General settings” and then “Clock” by pressing the “MENU” button. Here, you can change your time zone, enable auto-adjustment features, and decide whether to use Daylight Saving Time.
