decimal time

noun

decimal time

noun
1

A system of timekeeping in which time is decimalized.

  • The French Revolution was an era of extreme political and social change. Revolutionary fervor was applied to time itself. For a brief period, the French Republic introduced a decimal time system, with each day divided into ten hours and each hour divided into one hundred minutes. It was thoroughly logical and clearly superior to the sexagesimal system.2010, Jeremy Keith, HTML 5 For Web Designers, page 9:
