Stuttgart keeps two clocks.
Stuttgart, Germany, hums with precision and engineering excellence, where the workday often starts early and ends on time, reflecting the city's deep-rooted automotive heritage. During summer months, the extended daylight until around 9:30 PM in CEST allows for long evenings at beer gardens along the Neckar River, though remote teams should note that meetings after 4 PM may find colleagues already winding down. The city's commitment to punctuality means scheduling across time zones requires careful planning, especially when coordinating with partners in the Americas or Asia.
