The current time!

What's that all about, live?

No, they go off the camera every time they've finished the 'build'. It's cleverly edited/synced to the time. They'll have just done a batch of shorts of each number being built I imagine.
 
The artist, Mark Formanek, with the support of Datenstrudel created watches that are constructed in real time. 24 hours, 70 workers, 30 boards, 1611 changes. Construction of 4 meters in height and 12 in length, was constructed continuously throughout the day in Berlin Sculpture Park. Video of the process is synchronized with the time at which your computer is configured.

Very impressive, the whole thing was done over a 24 hour period. No clever editing to put it all together.
