Best Answer

When talking about religion references to a watch are often influenced by William Paley's philosophical argument that, for Paley, proves the existence of a supernatural deity that created the world by explaining the discovery of a watch, and subsequently a watchmaker - analogous to the world's complex structure and therefore the likelihood a complex maker having played a role in its construction.

During periods of colonialism, watches represented an empire's superiority and may have been exhibited specifically to remind the indigenous peoples of this relationship.

A watch may be used relatively easily in many metaphors that reflect the temporary nature of life and its inevitable demise. Although this might be seen as largely unoriginal and problematic due to the vast philosophical differences between organic and synthetic artifacts that may render Paley's argument invalid.
