Too high, duodecimal flips at the 50 minute mark or right after 7:4E. Though you could get away with doubling the length of an hour easily enough with duodecimal or just ignore minutes and seconds completely and make everything just be an hour as the standard measure( so that 7;50 is actually seven hours and 26 minutes). It's such a better base for doing mental math.

I was using a Swatch-like duodecimal system of 12³ = 1728 beats per day. This is actually more accurate than minutes of which there are 1440 and actual Swatch beats which are 1000 per day.

Since I haven't stated (or decided, for that matter) where the meridian is, we have no idea where this is, but it's clearly morning. Or is it. It's probably 10 minutes to some hour or another, or thereabouts, if midnight aligns with old time somewhere. Which it doesn't have to.
