“La natura è stata il nostro primo orologio e continua a scandire il tempo per coloro che se ne accorgono. Sono state la convivenza e la frequentazione diretta con la natura a far sì che l’umanità sviluppasse i segnatempo. Se gli orologi scandiscono le ore, allora il nostro primo orologio è stato interno. Potremmo dire che l’orologio è il risultato dello sforzo di allineare la nostra percezione del tempo con ciò che osservavamo nel mondo circostante.”
Rebecca Struthers, Hands of Time: A Watchmaker's History

“But, Lord! to see how much of my old folly and childishnesse hangs upon me still that I cannot forbear carrying my watch in my hand in the coach all this afternoon, and seeing what o’clock it is one hundred times; and am apt to think with myself, how could I be so long without one;”
Rebecca Struthers, Hands of Time: A Watchmaker's History

“Il concetto di tempo è inseparabile dalla nostra cultura. Nella lingua inglese, per esempio, la parola time (tempo) è la più usata. Nelle culture occidentali e capitaliste è qualcosa che abbiamo o non abbiamo, che risparmiamo o perdiamo, che passa, che ci trascina, che sembra non passare mai, che sembra fermarsi e poi volare. Il tempo scorre costantemente durante ogni nostra azione. È lo sfondo e il contesto della nostra esistenza e del nostro posto in quello che oggi è un mondo meccanizzato all’estremo.”
