- Finding shared working hours: both Brussels and Perth are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM CEST time (3:00 PM–5:00 PM AWST). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: Brussels viewers need 3:00 PM in Perth to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 6:00 PM if the event is anchored to Brussels.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +6h gap is not.
