You probably know this, but some areas of the French Republic ran on decimal time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_Calendar) after the revolution.
Each solar day was divided into ten hours, each hour into 100 minutes, and each minute into 100 seconds. A decimal minute was 86.4 conventional seconds, so a decimal second was .864 conventional seconds.
