I haven't been thinking about it for decades, but I just got reminded of the existence of Swatch internet time, which was supposed to provide a unified way of reckoning time across the globe. In decimal time, no less. There were 1000 beats in a day, making a beat a beat about 87 seconds long.

I liked that idea, but it was always marred by being a company thing (introduced by watch manufacturer Swatch), making wide adoption unlikely from the start.
