Quartsd15

Quartsd15 is an app that transforms your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in a clock that uses the Catalan traditional hour system.

This system, born in the era of solar clocks, is based on the "quart" unit, that is, a quarter of an hour, and using as a reference the next hour. So, for example, 11:15 is "un quart de dotze", "a quarter of twelve".

To be more precise, another sub-unit, the "half quarter", specifies times between quarters. So, 11:22 is "a quarter and a half of 12".

All the rest of hours are specified with Catalan expressions that approximate the time.

If you want to be able to use this traditional system of telling the time from Catalonia, of if you're learning Catalan, Quartsd15 is your app.
