Watches: Time Signatures – The Shared Journey Of Watchmaking And Music

“Were you rushing or were you dragging?” It’s the simple question that Mr JK Simmons uses to torment Mr Miles Teller in the 2014 movie Whiplash, as the latter’s timekeeping – or, more accurately, his self-esteem – is torn apart by the former’s abusive methods as a conductor.

However, the quest for perfect accuracy would be familiar to any watchmaker.
