well I'm glad it wasn't lost on you. I don't see why you think quantum theory is even at all relevant in this case? It just adds another level of complication that does nothing for the clarity of the original problem.

quantum theory deals with reality. A very dynamic and yet rigidly defined concept of reality.

Time however isn't very real. You could make arguments about spacetime but it doesn't address the fact that a second is a second. Maybe always relative to a particular frame of reference, but a second nonetheless.

I still think this all boils down to Zeno's paradox. And despite the fact that you can always cut a second in half, and then half again, and half again ad infinium; that divisibility doesn't address the second as a unit itself.

Time is a concept that we apply to the world, much as quantum theory is a concept we apply to the world. But to apply one concept to another concept seems redundant.

There are no second particles. When 60 seconds come together they don't form a minute molecule. These are ideas, not components of physical reality. So why quantum theory?
