You need to distinguish between a measure and a measuring device!

A device is a man-made machine, while the quantity it measures is a 
feature of nature.

Now it makes no sense at all to assume, that nature creates quantities 
for especially for our own species, our own planet or even our own solar 
system.

Our concept of time is usually based on things, which are common to us 
on planet Earth.

But why should nature care about our home planet?

The universe is HUGE and contains zillions of other stars and planets 
and will most likely not create concepts like time individually for each 
planet.
