Daily Question # 81

What /where   is  the  equivalent  of  Greenwich  in  this  system of  measurement  of  time ? ( See  Arrow )

 Also  name  the  company  which  has  manufactured  the  clock .

81-a

The  pic  shows  a  clock  showing  the  Internet  Time , a  decimal  time  concept  introduced  and  marketed  by  the  Swatch  Corporation . In  this  system , a  day  is  divided  into  1000  ‘ beats ‘ and  is  denoted  by  putting  the  number  of  beats  covered  after  midnight  after  the  ‘@’  symbol . For  eg. , the  above  pic  shows  the  time  as  452  beats  after  midnight . The  company  is  headquartered  in  Biel , Switzerland  and  hence  uses  the  Biel  Mean  Time  as  the  standard .

Cracked  in  full  by   Deepu , Deepthi  Mani  and  Jyothi  &  partly  by  Rajesh , Pottan  and  Dr  Naveen .

    swatch internet time
    —————————-

    @452– 452 beats after midnite.

    swatch corp. manufactured it in 1998 (googled)
    mean solar day divided into a 1000 beats…

    quoting the gud ol’ wiki:

    “There are no time zones; instead, the new time scale of Biel Mean Time (BMT) is used.”

    so,the answer to the question ll be BIEL, SWITZERLAND (the comp HQ)

    As time is around 11.53 & 452 seconds is nearly 7.5 minutes i am guessing something to do with the doomsday clock.
