This explains why my oven clock and the time/temperature display on the building outside my apartment in Switzerland are six minutes slow since January. It was a great mystery to me. 

Fortunately the Swiss rail system doesn't, as far as I know, use powerline frequency for timekeeping, even at remote stations, so all the railway clocks are still running properly.
