Ah, this brings back fond memories of Swatch's attempt [1] at a decimal division of the day at the height of the dotcom boom. I still must have one of these digital wristwatches in some box in a closet, with a big button that starts a glorious monochrome LCD animation of "going online" (while of course the watch stayed as offline as any other Quartz watch). The thought of a watch that could actually go online seemed ridiculously utopian back then, even when everybody was otherwise dreaming of cyberspace. But only a few weeks ago, in a moment of closure spanning a quarter of a century, I finally downloaded a "Swatch Internet Time" complication – from the Internet, directly onto my wristwatch.
