Really a rather academic concept, but quite interesting:
" a guide to metric time": http://zapatopi.net/metrictime/
short explanation and java metric time converter: http://www.bijlmakers.com/time/metric_time.htm

@Ilumo: beautiful watch, congrats, wear it in prosperity & health
@Roff: love your Complications 19 on blue croc, gorgeous !
