[time-nuts] Absolute time accuracy pre-Cesium?

JohnA started and then concluded this thread about pre-Cesium time accuracy.

Musings about quantized time gets pretty far off-topic for time-nuts. A couple of delayed postings from the queue will follow. But please, lets not go down a Planck rabbit hole here on time-nuts. Unless someone really knows, we'll call the thread closed.

Is time digital in the nanoscale, or is it always an analog measurement? Or, more fundamentally, is is just a concept rather than a reality?
