I was quite fond of the Swatch internet time or Beat time [0]. It divided the day into 1000 beats, discarded daylight saving and time zones. The only quirk is that the time source is derived from CET / Biel Mean Time (BMT) as opposed to UTC due to the Swatch corporation being headquartered in Beal Switzerland.
