Internet Beat time, or as some know it, Swatch Beats, is a clock which displays time in 'Beats'. A beat is 1/1000 of a day with no time zones. Everyone on the planet sees the same time and as such can be used to coordinate events, chat sessions, or just look cool. This application supports side viewing which displays decimal beats.
