Display Swatch Internet Time (beats) in Zooper

Did you ever want Zooper to display Time in .beats? Probably not. Here's how anyway:

This does the math. Just add a Text or Rich Text module, "Edit text manually" and insert this.

You will have to also tap "Override widget Locality" add a location, enter any city and manually set the timezone to UTC. This is because it Swatch Internet Time doesn't have time zones but can be calculated from Biel Meantime (BMT). @0 is midnight in Biel, where the Swatch headquarters is located.
