I should have incorporated this in my postcard.  It was on my table at dinner on the 29th.  Thoughtful, no?

One can't be sure where they got "presented" from but possibilities present themselves.  In certain contexts "put forward" is a synonym of "present", as in "she presented her idea to the committee".  Clocks are also often presented on retiring but generally on retiring for good rather than for the night.  Or were they thinking of changing the clock to the present time?  It's a puzzle.
