No...this is not a new clock ! Not a normal clock. This clock has been created to show the internet time called Swatch Beats invented by Swatch. This internet-time is worldwide the same. How long is a Beat ? A Day is divided into 1000 Beats. One Beat stands for 1 minute and 26.4 seconds. I searched within the Aminet for a nice programm that is able to show me the current Time in Beats. But I didn't like, what I found, so I made my own. :-) @{"Okay !" link "Main" 0} @endnode @node "VonWEM_TXT" "Von wem ist das ?"

Only available in Amiga-Beats. The original Swatch-Beats have three counters, without decimal values. This is like no seconds visible on your clock. This is not good, isn`t it ? So I have a @{"Idea" link "Idee_uebernehmen" 0} and added this fine function. I prefer two decimal values.
