About these two clocks
CET — Central European Time. Used in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam. CET is the winter name; from late March to late October the same clocks show CEST (UTC+2).
PST — Pacific Time. Used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. PST is the winter name; from March to November the same clocks show PDT (UTC−7).
All figures on this page come from the IANA time zone database (the same data your phone and laptop use), evaluated for the date in question. Abbreviations are ambiguous — “IST” also means Irish or Israel Standard Time, and “CST” is China Standard Time in Asia — so this page uses Europe/Berlin and America/Los_Angeles explicitly.
