The attempt to introduce the new time was abandoned in 1795 because the rest of the world, as >well as the people of France, did not accept the new time.It was non-recociable to consider 2.50 new hours when it was 6 in the morning, ot 5.00 new hours at noon. Moreso, 'sea power/ marine being supreme, use of Nautical Mile predominated' that has led to the survival of 'mile, yards, feet' and Nautical Mile got equated to 1852 m, which being 1/60th of the degree to be in sync with time measure (minute - 1/60th of the HOUR).
My suggestion to the use of *Decimalisation of the HOUR in relation with Arc-angle is precisely to tie these loose ends* left delibrately or otherwise and NOT CHANGE the clock face of 24-hourly time zones or the 360-degree circle, retaining 15-degree Hour-Angle. I assume, sir you recall my views that I have been expressing on calendar reform too; which is a built up on this BASE and can be viewed at:

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

Marcus in USMA 27233 gave an extensive argument in favor of the grade. He is over 2 centuries too late. In 1793 as part of the original design of the metric system a new set of time units was introduced. There were 10 new hours in a day, 100 new minutes in the new hour, and 100 new seconds in the new minute. Clocks were built showed the new time, and some may be seen today in French museums. The attempt to introduce the new time was abandoned in 1795 because the rest of the world, as well as the people of France, did not accept the new time.
In 1795 the metric system included only the metre and the kilogram and their derivatives: the square and cubic kilograms, and surface and volume densities. Units involving time, and electrical and photometric units were added later. The results were:
the centimtre-gram-second system of 1832 due to the British Association for the Advancement of Science,
the metre-tonne-seopnd system which was legal in France from 1919 until 1961.
the metre-kilogram-second system,
the metre-kilogram(force)-second system (with the slug as unit of mass). This system was used by engineers.
the metre-kilogram-second-ampere system proposed by Giovanni Giorgi in 1901. This was renamed in 1960 as the International System of Units (SI).
The degree, minute and second of angle are described in the metric bible as "non-SI units accepted for use with the International System", but a footnote adds "ISO 31 recommends that the degree be divided decimally rather than using the minute and second".
The grade, grad, gon, and quad are not mentioned in the metric bible.
