The first frame for this video shows 10:12:10. There are 3 base-60 digits onscreen. There is no Babylonian digit for 0, only 1-59; we use a blank space for zero. Looking at the first frame, the first digit is "10" (the "A" on its side=10), the second digit is "12" (one "A" + two vertical strokes = 12) and the last digit is 10 again.
Inside each digit, the "A"s count tens - from 0 to 5. The vertical strokes count ones, from 0 to 9. It's easiest to understand if you watch the last digit.
