This page displays a binary clock. It converts standard time to binary time:

Binary Time
We are very much used to our sexagesimal numeral system to measure time. In this base 60 system a day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute is divided in 60 seconds. A more logical method of time keeping would be a decimal system (base 10 system) dividing a day in 10 hours, with 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds in each minute. But we live in a computer age and since all our information is stored in a binary form (in bits), we should perhaps consider switching to binary clocks.
In a decimal numeric system we use 10 different digits (0 to 9), but a binary numeral system represents numeric values using only two symbols (0 and 1). Here is a table showing how decimal values are represented in a binary way:
| Decimal | Binary | Explanations for minkukels |
| 0 | 0 | Naught |
| 1 | 1 | One one |
| 2 | 10 | One two and zero ones |
| 3 | 11 | One two and one one |
| 4 | 100 | One four, zero twos and zero ones |
| 5 | 101 | One four, zero twos and one one |
| 6 | 110 | One four, one two and zero ones |
| 7 | 111 | One four, one two and one one |
| 8 | 1000 | One eight |
| 9 | 1001 | One eight and one one |
| 10 | 1010 | One eight and one two |
| 11 | 1011 | … |
| 12 | 1100 | … |
| 13 | 1101 | etcetera |
| 14 | 1110 | and so on |
| 15 | 1111 | and so forth |
| 16 | 10000 | |
| etc. |
The binary clock on this page is in fact a sexagesimal clock shown in a binary format. Perhaps your next birthday present is a binary watch.
