Time always requires to define a starting point, because time is 
actually an interval, even if most people don't recognize that.

We have usual clocks like e.g. a wrist watch, which are commonly set to 
the local time by some sort or timing signal.

E.g. the BBC transmitted the sound of 'Big Ben' at noon.

Then we have calendars which also get synchronized each year at a huge 
celebration.

This is then used as stating point of time for this particular year and 
location.
