I don't know if this is quite what you had in mind, but there's been quite a lot written that I find to be fascinating on the relationship between the advent of the industrial revolution, modern timekeeping devices, and the social conception of time itself.

So for instance, the observation in this article, The Invention of Leisure in Early Modern Europe, that "the very idea of a history of leisure before the industrial revolution is an anachronism."

It's not an area of expertise of mine, but it was precisely the industrial revolution that made a standardization of time both possible and necessary. As with "leisure time" the notion of "working hours" would have been equally anachronistic. It was, for example, the advent of railroads and the need for reliable railway timetables that led to the creation of "Standard Time" around the world. I haven't read them, but others on the sub have spoken highly of The Railway Journey and The Culture of Time and Space, 1880-1918 as discussing how the latter waves of the industrial revolution radically altered those notions of time.

Outside of Europe and America, the modern conception of time is almost largely associated with imperialism and colonialism, which for much of its history is itself intimately associated with the industrial revolution and its need for raw materials and new markets.

As far as I'm aware, the classic essay on all of this is Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism by E.P. Thompson, though, as I said it's not an expertise of mine and I'm sure there's quite a lot of more recent scholarship I'm unaware of.
