#Clocks

Styler analyzed the most common superstitions associated with clocks: from the Irish funeral custom of stopping the mechanism to the modern tradition of making a wish at 11:11 and the Chinese ban on gifting clocks.

On the night of October 25, 2026, Ukraine and most European countries will switch to standard time: at 04:00, clocks will be turned back to 03:00. In the US and Canada, the transition will take place on November 1.

On the night of October 24–25, 2026, Ukraine switches to winter time: at 04:00, clocks will be turned back by one hour. The bill to abolish the seasonal change has not been signed, so the practice remains.
