I worked for a major television network and it was one of my jobs, being on the night shift, to reset all the clocks in all the operations and control rooms. Never counted but it was a hell of a lot. Now, it is automatic.

Last time I counted, it was 32! Not surprisingly, I collect clocks. My wife allows us to have six that bong. Two, every 15 minutes and six that sound every half hour. Not everyone's cup o' tea, I know, but we like it. Most of the clocks are 100-125 year old Japanese school clocks that we manage to keep accurate to about three minutes a week. The others, including the grandfather clock and Navy mantel clock are almost as good as the atomic clocks. We have 11 different ways to tell time just in our office. It is more difficult in the fall when we set the clocks back and I have to move the clocks ahead 11 hours and accommodate the quarter hour bells. I'm sure you are sorry you asked.

Ten in the house.
Luckily, six are automatic.

Thanks, I forgot about the cameras.

None. I don't use clocks.
Interesting. How do you tell time?

Just the one on the oven. All the the others are controlled via WWVB or the cell network.

I set cameras to UTC.

11 clocks (two were on the Oven and Microwave and one on the programmable thermostat). Plus two cameras and one watch (my wife's) and one car (mine). My watch and my wife's car took care of themselves.

I don't feel like subtracting <my time zone hours from UTC> to the image taken time when I look at the image details.
Like 8 PM on the image is really 3 PM in <my> real life. Wait, or is it 4 PM. Was it taken during EDST or EST?
I have my camera log the local time, (if I remember to change it) because that's the time the image was taken when I was there. Luckily 95+% of my pictures are taken in one time zone.

When I travel I try to remember to keep my camera(s) set to the local time because we often use the timestamp on our images as a record of our vacations and such. Of course, my wife shoots virtually all of her pictures using her iPhone so those have accurate timestamps as well as the geotagging, which helps as well.
