It was unfortunate that "Prieur Cote d'Or" failed to pressurise Empror Napoleon
to merge Time & Calendar and link THIS with arc-angle. To me it appears that
Empror was not advised the need to 'relate merger of Time Units with those of
Arc-Angle i.e. the Hour-Angle'; like I did in my base paper The Metric Second
(1973) linked to my contribution Metric Norms for Time Standard (1971).

NEW FRENCH CLOCK
Dear Calendarists:
It occurred to me during recent discussions about decimal time keeping how the
attempt to reform the clock during the French Revolution might have been more
successful if they had modeled the new clock after the the new calendar. That
is, instead of insisting on dividing the day into 10 "hours" they had divided
it into 12 periods (douziemes), with 36 sub-periods (decades), 3 each per
douzieme, of 10 degrees (degre) each, for a total of 360 degrees, which could
then be sub-divided decimally. In this way, the clock would mirror the format
of the proposed calendar (360 days, of 36 decades, of 12
months).
The douziemes could be named in a scheme similar to the months. An example,
with suitably French sounding names, could be:
Midnight to 2 AM: Minuitose
2 AM to 4 AM: Noiritose
4 AM to 6 AM: Auroritose
6 AM to 8 AM: Montal
8 AM to 10 AM: Matinal
10 AM to Noon: Finmatinal
Noon to 2 PM: Mididor
2 PM to 4 PM: Apremidor
4 PM to 6 PM: Couchidor
6 PM to 8 PM: Crepuscaire
8 PM to 10 PM: Soiraire
10 PM to Midnight: Nuitaire
