That is a old marketing project from Swatch from 1998. Because people using more and more cell phones instead of watches. With this marketing gag, Swatch got some attention together with Ericsson. But after 4 years the hype was over and the the Internet Time slowly diapers, because it hat never a future. The Base of the Internet Time was the Swatch Office in Biel, Switzerland form there the name Biel Mean Time (BMT, later they called it UTC, Swatch Internet Time. But nobody really needs a new time zone and the headquarter is offset from any meridian. (One Day had 1000 beats). But anyway, thanks to oxalice. Now she has time to create another nice widget.

How does this work? My computer clock says 12:45 am and the widget says @781. What does that mean?

Very cool! Not enough .beat clocks around. Could you, by chance, add a color change setting?
