Scheduling Around the Berlin Workday
London is an hour behind, so a London 9:00 AM start reaches Berlin at 10:00 AM. A New York morning is Berlin's afternoon: 9:00 AM in New York is 3:00 PM in Berlin.
Calling Berlin from Tokyo means Tokyo's evening, and 6:00 PM in Tokyo is 10:00 AM in January and 11:00 AM in July in Berlin. From Dubai, noon is 9:00 AM in January and 10:00 AM in July in Berlin. In July, 9:00 AM in Berlin is 4:00 PM in Tokyo, against 5:00 PM in January.

Where Berlin Sits Relative to Tokyo, Dubai and New York
Paris and London track Berlin's clock changes, so the table shows constant gaps for them. The Tokyo and Dubai rows move only because Berlin does, and New York is the row where both sides move on different dates.
Reading the Berlin Clock Across the Year
Quick answer: Berlin uses CET (UTC+1) in standard time · CEST (UTC+2) during March-October.
Berlin uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March, and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in between. Germany's main cities follow the Europe/Berlin zone.
Because the UK, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands change on the same weekends, Berlin keeps a steady one-hour lead over London and the same clock as Paris. 10:00 AM in Berlin is 9:00 AM in London.
North America is the exception. For a few weeks in March and again around late October, Berlin and New York are 5 hours apart instead of 6, because the two sides change on different dates. 4:00 PM in Berlin is 10:00 AM in New York normally and 11:00 AM in mid-March.
