The British Horological Institute.

After a mutiny on the Nore in 1797, British ships modified the bell system on the dog watch (16:00 - 18:00) so that the mutiny signal of 5 bells was never again struck.

That’s wack. The bosses own timekeeping, too, I guess. That’s like if schools would force watch makers to skip 4:20 pm.
