Time in Sri Lanka

From io9
the Sinhalese people in ancient Sri Lanka divided the day into 60 Peya, which we might consider their version of the hour, and then in turn divided these into 24 Vinadi. This means a Vinadi is exactly as long as a minute — just arrived at in the opposite way

And women did not bother wearing tops either. 

How very civilized.
