I was using a Swatch-like duodecimal system of 12³ = 1728 beats per day. This is actually more accurate than minutes of which there are 1440 and actual Swatch beats which are 1000 per day.

Since I haven't stated (or decided, for that matter) where the meridian is, we have no idea where this is, but it's clearly morning. Or is it. It's probably 10 minutes to some hour or another, or thereabouts, if midnight aligns with old time somewhere. Which it doesn't have to.
