I think it’s cheating to call it metric if it’s not decimal. Even some of the oldest analog clocks had 24-hour faces, they were just a bitch to read in a watch-size. You still have to do stupid math to figure out duration past the 12 or 24, and even with the 60 minutes/1 hour. Nothing metric or superior about it.
