SOME people may welcome the lighter nights but, for the likes of Glyn Smoothy, the advent of British Summer Time is a real wind-up.
That's because when the clocks go forward by an hour this weekend, the director of Watts 1858 Jewellers, in Cornmarket, Derby, has to update his stock of luxury watches to make sure they all show the correct time.
On Sunday, the clocks will change at 1am and all this week Mr Smoothy has been setting his watches to automatically switch to BST.
It is a job that any timepiece fan would envy as Watts, Derby's oldest independent jeweller, stocks some of the most expensive watches in the city, makes such as Bremont, worth many thousands of pounds.
The handy phrase he has to remember is "spring forward, fall backward."
But be warned – a 2012 study by the University of Alabama found that the risk of a heart attack increases by 10 per cent on the Monday and Tuesday after the clocks go forward.
