On a BAH! note, The "Internet Time Converter" is only available for MacOS or Win. Maybe when I'm more awake I'll write a version in bash if someone already hasnt..
That's simply the download format. You can unzip the PC.exe file. The extracted files include a Javascript based html page plus some graphics. Works for me. All the apparent PC- or MacOS- only downloads from the Swatch site appear to behave the same - assuming they contain platform independent stuff like HTML, Java or Javascript.

Swatch have created a world "Internet Time" concept that means the time is the same everywhere. Lots of information on Internet Time is available from Swatch. I have no idea if this will catch on but they sell some really funky watches to help. More information is available from your favourite search engine.
I've not actually seen one, just the web site. Netscape has a long list of on-line watch dealers. The Beat series all seem to come in around the US$60 mark.
This has got to be an uber geek accessory. I claim no association with Swatch apart from owning one of the electric/automatics:-)
