Port-au-Prince keeps two clocks.
Port-au-Prince sits in the Atlantic time zone but follows daylight saving, so evenings stay light a bit longer. That extra late-afternoon glow makes it easier to squeeze more into the workday or chat into the evening without losing daylight. For global teams, it lines up well with US East Coast hours, so scheduling calls across the Americas feels natural—just mind the overlap around lunch to keep things smooth.
