Mpffffff... what is unique about time-keeping as-practiced? It is base-12. Meaning that its 24-hour days are nicely divisible by more prime numbers than if it were base-10. It also goes nicely with 360 degrees, and such. It is something that entire world agrees to - one of the very few things.

Esperanto, anyone?

Instead of redefining time measures, we should use base 12 for our day to
day computations? That might actually be less work.
