Everyone should have the same time. No zones, DST, etc. Vast advantages to this.

Swatch, in Biel CH, proposed dividing the day into 1,000 parts called Beats = 86.4 seconds.

0 Beats would correspond to 12 midnight, Central Europe.

A big problem is that everything is based on the second as the fundamental time unit.

Pity ...
