The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have just noticed that UTC on Breitling.com (displayed top left) was wrong. I say "was" because having adjusted the time on my computer to UTC, the display on breitling.com switched to the correct time.

This seems a bit odd - wouldn't it be more sensible for breitling.com to take a direct feed from a third party source, rather than a user's computer? And what if your computer isn't set to UTC (working about 4 miles from Greenwich, in the winter, this isn't a problem for me). Does it use IP-recognition to locate a user and then adapt the hours accordingly, but still read the minutes from the user's computer?

PS. Promise to fix the bezel in my sig soon. Ish.

Yes it's been mentioned a couple of times, and I agree it's a bit daft for Breitling to use your PC's time! As you say, it'd be just as easy for them to take a feed from an official atomic clock site instead.
