      That could work. I especially like that it doesn’t start over again like the 12 hour clock.

      I’m not a fan of base 10. I’m really like the consistency of the metric system but base 10 is/was a mistake and base 6 or 12 would have been way better for everyday use (including clocks) because of the number of prime factors. 6 and 12 are what’s called superior highly composite numbers (SHCN) which make them great choices for bases in a number system because it simplifies a lot of manual everyday calculations, especially divisions.
