Ciudad Juárez keeps two clocks.
Ciudad Juárez sits right on the US–Mexico border, so its Mountain Daylight Time keeps it perfectly synced with neighboring El Paso, making cross-border calls and meetings feel seamless. The long, sun-drenched evenings in summer give teams extra daylight for collaboration, while the desert climate means early mornings are cool and ideal for focused work.
