For some reason I cannot get rid of the idea of having a metric time (a.k.a decimal time) clock as a watch or as a clock.

Out of everything in the SI (International System of Units), time is the only one that is really integral in our life and yet is not following the decimal system. Everything else (length, mass, electric current, temperature, luminosity,...) follow the decimal system, but time for some reason is still this weird format.

Welcome to your 17 1/2 hour work week!

Are you really doing metric if you're still living in a 24 hour reality?

I wrote a program that would display local time and the much superior metric time. Let's bring the metric system into the 21st century. #MetricTime

I once went into a "traditional" sweet shop and asked for a quarter (pound) of sherbet lemons and the shopkeeper said "Huh, can't sell quarters anymore - it's 100 grammes now. Another thing Europe can't keep its hands off".

So I said "yeah, it's terrible - not as bad as this 'metric time' thing though". And he said "What? What's that?"

So I said "you know, 100 seconds in a minute, 50 minutes in an hour, 20 hours in a day"...
