Internet Time

[AlanHudson]

I'm currently running MegaClock - a clock/time app - on my NX70. One of the settings shows "Internet Time!. What is this, and how does it relate to "real" time? For example, it's now 12.23pm, and Internet Time is showing "@521".

Hi,

You can find answer for example HERE

Thanks - I found a similar answer through Google

Yep - Google is your friend

Google - where would we be without it
Seriously, I hadn't realised that Internet Time was developed by Swatch. On the face of it, a good idea - but wouldn't want to plan a plane/train journey by it.

And the cheek of these people - the meridian runs through Swatch's head office

Everyone knows that the meridian should run through Durham
