About Fakaofo time
Fakaofo keeps one clock.
Fakaofo is a remote atoll in Tokelau that keeps time in one of the earliest time zones on Earth, so your workday there often wraps up before colleagues in Europe or the Americas have even started theirs. Its sizeable daylight hours—always under the same UTC+13 offset—make morning standups happen at roughly breakfast-time in North America or late evening across Europe, favoring early communication with the Pacific Rim.
