How does an analogue (quartz) watch know to change the date at
midnight and not midday? I can understand that it only changes on
every second rotation but how does it know when to change in the first
place?

Does this mean when the clocks move back you need to adjust the hands
backwards not forwards? My granny used to say you should never wind a
clock backwards.

No, but I have wondered why they don't move forward in the early
afternoon or at midday.

Well I wouldnlt mind geting an extra hour for lunch but not having a lunch hour when the clocks go back would **** me off.

Not as much as working 12hr nights and winding back the clock 1h at 0200.

I've usually been at a nightclub when that happens so rarely affected me to any great degree.
