That is usally done by the operating system next time you boot, which 
also means if you have more than one OS installed you get the 1 hour

after the change-over.

ntp alleviates the situation a bit, but it is a clumsy workaround for an 
issue that can be avoided by doing the intelligent thing - running your 
hardware clock in UTC.
