I like this. It's probably a lot easier to adopt than my version which is basically a full day split into 10 parts (basically French Revolutionary Time) but the same across the whole world, and the clock face rotates so that local solar midday is always at the top of the clock. https://kybernetikos.github.io/UIT/

Thanks for the feedback. The main concept is to keep using 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds system and build the clock on top of that. Cool clock you have there as well.

I like that you use letters to make it clear which time is being discussed, cool idea and important - the problem with organising cross timezone isn't so much the complication of organising across timezone (you can look up a conversion online instantly and easily), it's more the ambiguity about which time any particular time being mentioned is.

I didn't originally create a new week for my system, but knowing which day a meeting is on is important too for meetings that are a long away apart. That's why I created nullday, unday, duoday, triday, quadday, pentday, hexday, heptday, and nonday.

yes, that's the concept behind the letters. Cool day names btw!
