I've never paid attention, just assumed that after the clock hit 2:59:59, the next tick would be 2:00:00, but that's not the way it happened. My clock stopped at 1:59:59, and left me without a visible working clock for an hour, but curiously, a test folder created at 2:40 showed an incorrect creation time of 1:40, i.e., the clock had already been set back an hour behind the scenes. I can't begin to figure out the logic involved here, but it seems to me that macOS's generating an incorrect creation time is a bug regardless of the logic. (Reported) https://imgur.com/RH0nUbw

Back-dating creation seems like a poor way to have dealt with it.

Sorry, guys, but I don't get your point. I'm always on line overnight, so it's not like I stayed up to watch the ball drop, and I'd be astounded if either of you guys told me that your screen clock didn't change for an hour and you didn't take a look behind the scenes.

I thought the time change occurred at 2:00 AM, at which time it became 1:00 AM. Your description says the change occurs at 3:00 AM, but your observations support a 2 AM change.

I was confused..thought the change occurred at 3:00 AM.  (And Apple didn't help me in the least.) What apparently happened was Apple set the system clock back an hour at 2:00 AM behind the scenes, but for some reason didn't do it on-screen. So in effect, the change happened at 2:00 AM behind the scenes, and at 3:00 AM on-screen.
