Is that correct? Or am I off in left field...?

My background in electronics began in 1977 with my first analog gun fire control computer with lots of dials and hand cranks... Used to aim the 5 inch gun in it's 12 mile range.

But regular clockworks divide seconds by 60, minutes by 60, and hours by 12. We need to divide by 100, 100, and 10. Regular clockworks can't be used. Also, a metric second is shorter than a second, so we need a different timebase.
