Enough to live all in a shifted world. It suffices to study attentively a terrestrial globe to state :

The Greenwich meridian is not  the Prime Meridian,  even though, it is the sexagesimal one.

The true Prime Meridian - the hexadecimal one - traverses the city center of Florence at 11° 15' East of Greenwich.

Twice sixteen hexadecimal meridians are spaned from pole to pole ; one of these crosses Greenwich Observatory.

The actual western hemisphere ranges from Florence meridian, via Ecuador, to Fairway Rock in Bering Strait, cf. map and photo.

like the eastern world extends from Gabon (also at 11° 15' East of Greenwich) over Sumatra to Fairway Rock.

The meridian plus and minus sixteen hexadecimal degrees at 168° 45' West of Greenwich marks East-West.

Cf.  – par example –  this map at http://www.mapquest.com.  By zooming in, one even sees the small Island.

Since 1989, a new superior hexadecimal metric system exists. It was elaborated by Michael Florencetime.

The seven base units of this now proposed hexadecimal metric system include a hexadecimal time format.
