Didn't some company do something similar a few years back, and try to make like 1000 time units per day a thing, instead of the normal 24 hours?

Our 24 hour, 60 minute, 60 second system is weird and unintuitive, but it's standard, we're all used to it, and it's not a problem that needs desperately to be solved. And if you did... 100 'hours' would be better. I mean, that would be an 'hour' of 14.4 minutes - about a quarter hour. That seems more intuitive than 144 minute-long hours to me...

It isn't; it's based on base-12 counting, which is far easier for people to work with when the advanced tech of the day is an abacus.

I think Kodak had something weird going on with their calendar also. It was more about weeks and months though

That reminds me of working as a mechanic. Punching in & out of jobs. 12.2 hr 1.9hr .... 2.7 hr. etc. it wasn't that hard to get used too tbh. ... But it's different than doing all the hours differently I guess.

Right? The USPS used a decimalized hour for time clocks. For example I clocked in at 07.00 yesterday and clocked out at 20.69, which translates to around 8:42pm
