Displays the Internet time from Swatch as a System Tray icon

This simple program lets you find out the Internet time created by the Swiss watchmaking company Swatch. This system was devised in order to establish a universal and common timeframe for all the users of Internet across the planet.

It works of the following way: a day is divided in 1,000 parts, calls beats. Thus, 12 noon is equivalent to 500 beats, and each beat lasts approximately a minute and 26 seconds. Therefore, at 13:15, it´s 551 in Internet time. TheBeat does not require installation: simply execute it a small clock with the Internet time will appear next to the Windows clock.
