Paris and Singapore are 6h apart. When it's 9 AM in Paris, it's already 3:00 PM in Singapore — meaning Singapore's working day is well underway before Paris's morning has properly started.

The 2h of overlapping business hours is your synchronous window. Use it for decisions, code reviews, and anything that genuinely requires two people to think together. Push everything else — status updates, documentation questions, non-blocking feedback — into async channels so you're not burning your shared window on things that could be an email.

Recurring calendar invites for Paris–Singapore meetings need a DST audit every year. If one city's clocks change before the other's, there's a window — sometimes three weeks, sometimes five — where the same calendar slot lands an hour earlier or later than intended. Always schedule with explicit timezone labels, not just clock times.

The bigger risk isn't the 6h gap — it's that the 2h overlap creates a false sense of availability. Both sides are reachable at the same time, so meetings proliferate. The most effective Paris–Singapore teams treat their overlap window as a protected resource: one synchronized meeting per day maximum, async-first for everything else.

Daylight saving time: Paris observes daylight saving time; Singapore does not. When Paris's clocks change (next: March 29), the gap between the two cities shifts by 1 hour.
