During the Ada 9X design processes, user-defined time types and clocks were proposed. These, however, were dropped when the scope of proposed changes was reduced. This paper reviews the original proposal and suggests a new solution which is in keeping with Ada 2005. Our goal is to regenerate interest in the topic to see if it is worthy of support in a future amendment to Ada.
