Binary clocks that display time in binary-coded [[sexagesimal]] also exist. Instead of representing each digit of traditional sexagesimal time with one binary number, each component of traditional sexagesimal time is represented with one binary number, that is, using up to 6 bits instead of only 4.

For 24-hour binary-coded sexagesimal clocks, there are 11 or 17 LED lights to show the time. There are 5 LEDs to show the hours, there are 6 LEDs to show the minutes, and there are 6 LEDs to show the seconds (which aren't used in clocks with 11 LED lights).

A format exists also where hours, minutes and seconds are shown on three lines instead of columns as binary numbers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tagblatt.ch/ostschweiz/stgallen-gossau-rorschach/stgallen-verpassen-sie-den-zug-oder-koennen-sie-eine-binaer-uhr-lesen-ld.1013362|title=ST.GALLEN: Verpassen Sie den Zug oder können Sie eine Binär-Uhr lesen?|website=St.Galler Tagblatt|date=6 April 2018 |language=de|access-date=2020-04-02}}</ref>
