Much to my guests' annoyance all but the too-clever-by-half wireless clocks remain on GMT. Proper house time would be GMT less 14 minutes or thereabouts. To be that horologically pedantic would, of course, be ridiculous.
I could, of course, mount ship's time repeaters (like your engine room clock that you will not be touching unless you want your fingers welded to the telegraph handle) alongside each of the various GMT dials around the house, slaved from my Seiko GC-QMS Marine Master but I think I might then be thought of as a little eccentric (it would also be certain to break the treaty with my Sister-in-Law who refers to my electrically reset gravity arm escapement timepieces as both too numerous and reminding her of mummies).
