  1. I needed a little break from a ternary encoded display, so I went back to one of my old favourites. French Decimal Time 🇫🇷.

    As a side note, since it is no longer DST in Europe and I'm the same timezone as the Swatch headquarters 🇨🇭, it's also actually the current valid time in .Beats (a.k.a. Swatch® Internet Time)! 🥳

  2. How about more time trivia then. So what is the deal with 12 hour clocks if we have 24 hours in a day? Furthermore, why 24 hours? And if they are 24 hours in a day, why are there 60 minutes and 60 seconds? This seems illogical, right? Maybe we should decimalize it, like we did with the metric system!

  3. Sent the first picture to one of my unicycle friends with the comment, "5:80 already, the day is flying by" and he replied with "True" and the second picture.

  4. After two weeks with lots of trains (and hence some precision for times being needed) it is nice to go back to the single handed #DecimalWatch

  5. I'm told the time cannot be 7.86 but if that were true, how come both my watches state this.

  6. Since my LED watch might have upset people (being slightly misaligned) I'll switch back to this.

  7. @moira @jarek No, the seconds are shorter. 1 decimal second is 0.864 SI seconds. 😉

    P.S. Yes today I am acting as "reply guy" but since I regularly wear a decimal watch, display decimal time on my Android phone and also have devices that show Swatch .beats, I'll admit I failed to contain myself. 🤪

    Anyway here is one of my watches with a picture taken at exactly midnight.
