to adjust the time on a clock by advancing it forward, typically by one hour, to accommodate the start of daylight saving time
- Every spring, we need to move the clock ahead by one hour to ensure our timekeeping is in sync with daylight saving time.
- I always forget to move the clock ahead, so I end up being an hour early for appointments when daylight saving time begins.
- Let's move the clock ahead before we go to bed so we're not late tomorrow.
- Don't forget to move your clock ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight for daylight saving time.
