Early to Bed and Early to Rise
"Early
to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" was
published by Benjamin Franklin who has also sometimes been mistakenly
been credited for the concept of Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight
Saving time was implemented in England around 1916 and was
conceptualised by New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson who
found the after-hours daylight extremely useful to his hobby of
collecting insects. Here are some interesting clocks we came across
during our apartment visits around London.
