Converting Central European Time to Hong Kong Time
Central European Time (CET) and Hong Kong Time (HKT) are separated by a 7 hours time difference. HKT is 7 hours ahead of CET. CET is UTC+1, used in Germany, France, Italy, while HKT is UTC+8, used in Hong Kong, China.
When converting from CET to HKT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM CET equals 4:00 PM HKT, 12:00 PM noon CET equals 7:00 PM HKT, and 5:00 PM CET equals 12:00 AM HKT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across CET and HKT
For professionals scheduling meetings between CET and HKT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 7 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
CET observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to CEST (UTC+2) during summer months. HKT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+8 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
