@edithvanher ok, ternary computer operates trits instead of bits (trit may be in one of 3 states: -1, 0, +1), see 3niti.org for more details and ternary clock displays time in ternary format (every trit may be: Green means +1, White means 0 and Red means -1) - 4 trits for hours, 4 trits for minutes and 4 trits for seconds.
@Shaos1973 I think the answer is a deeper one of philosophy, there are more possibilities than just true or false. Take religion for example, you can believe in a God (Theist) +1, or not believe in a God (Atheist) -1, or you can be unsure (Agnostic) 0. Trinary or ternary is an attempt at reflecting the analogue phenomenon in computing devices. Personally I think the answer is Quaternary logic... lol.

@edithvanher The point of what? Ternary computer or ternary clock?...

@SuperQUL Balanced ternary is still relatively easy to implement in hardware, but everything above is too complex to make in comparison to binary...

there is "Ternary clock" on iPhone and iPad:
