Before the railway, you could set your clock by the sun and a few minutes' difference from one town to the next didn't matter. Enter the railway: in addition to needing to catch a train on time, train crews need to follow a schedule to the minute to avoid a collision. Even a couple minutes' difference one way or the other can spell disaster. The "railroad standard watch" existed for a reason. So important was this to the railway that in the Golden Age of American Rail, train conductors were <em>forbidden</em> from winding their own company issued watches. If a conductor's watch stopped, he had to take it to a special company worker whose <em>sole job</em> was maintaining conductor's watches, so they could set it to the railway clock. </li></ul></li><li> And people who are expecting an important package. </li><li> Hell, practically everyone in the industrialised world; just a few centuries ago, it would have been mad to try and plan anything more precisely than 'morning', 'noon' or 'afternoon'!
