That's probably the ideal situation given that you'd never have to change your clock again. Well, except when traveling east or west. And setting up meetings would be a nightmare, like "let's meet tomorrow at... eh, let me see... 4:13 for you Tom, 3:48 for you Sam, 7:24 for you Jane, oh, you have another meeting at 7:41... Ok, how about... Uhm..."
