São Paulo and Paris
São Paulo runs on America/Sao_Paulo and Paris on Europe/Paris. Paris changes its clocks for daylight saving and São Paulo does not, so the difference between them shifts by an hour twice a year.
This is why the converter above asks for a date. A meeting arranged in October for a date in November can land an hour off if you assume today's difference still holds — the clocks move between the two moments, and only one side may move.
The safest habit for scheduling across zones is to agree on the local time in one place and let each side convert, rather than agreeing on "the difference". The difference is a property of a date, not of a pair of cities.
