Yes, indeed. I learned to count seconds with a Big Ben alarm clock before we had electricity on the farm. Even without music it can be accurate. Two musicians, Godowsky and Mannes, did much of the research leading up to Kodachrome by counting seconds in the dark. It still works well today when dodging and burning, either while printing or shooting film. Today's inexpensive compact digital clocks that tick once a second may help.
