Mary: "Hi, Mrs. Bulova. This is Mary, at Dr. Grumpy's office. I'm calling because you're 10 minutes late for your appointment, and you're always punctual. So I wanted to make sure everything is okay."
Mrs. Bulova: "That can't be! My appointment is at 2:30, and my watch says it's only 1:15 now!"
Mary: "I'm sorry, but it's actually 2:40. I can re-schedule you, though. Maybe your watch is broken? Or you need to wind it?"
Mrs. Bulova: "It's funny, I noticed last night that it said 1:15 while I was having dinner, and it said the same thing later when I was getting ready for bed, and also this morning, when I woke up. I thought that was weird, but it makes sense now."

It sounds like Mrs. Bulova has more problems than just a broken watch. (Love the name)
But does she know what a time zone is?
This wouldn't be Syndee's mother, would it?
As they say, even a broken watch is right twice a day.
Enter the Twilight Zone where time has no meaning...
"My husband has put on some weight recently, so I figured it was just relativistic effects from his gravitational pull."
Officer Cynical: "No. No, I'm afraid it doesn't."
There used to be a running joke at a University's radio station about it always being 10:47 because one night the (analog) clock got stuck there and the DJ kept announcing it was 10:47... for hours on end.
Ha! I'll bet Mary never has to call Mrs. Timex (takes a licking and keeps on ticking) about this.
At least she still got the date of her appointment right!
Clearly a neurological problem here.
She definitely needs to see you.
Sounds like her appointment with you was not a moment too soon.
