“独立制表师”是指独立于钟表制作公司，基于自己的理念创造钟表艺术作品的手表工匠。在这些钟表匠中，菊野正弘由于特殊的工作受到关注，他的工作凸显了日本传统文化。现在，菊野的目标是将一个终极计时器嵌入手表。这个终极计时器基于日本工匠大师在1851年制作的“和时计时钟”而设计，将日出和日落间的时间分为六等份。由于白天的长度随着季节变化，时间的长度也随着季节的变化而变化。复杂精致的自动时钟由1000多个部件组成。本片讲述了菊野将这套系统嵌入手表中这一不可思议的创作。

所谓传奇，往往是镌刻历史之上，常人远远无法奇迹的存在。1982年，一支由中学生们组建的乐队X诞生。作为乐队主心骨的二人，主唱Toshi和鼓手Yoshiki有着狂野而宏大的音乐梦想。年轻是资本，才华是凭依，伴随着轰鸣的音箱和酒精、火焰乃至暴力，X仿佛一个有着巨大魔力的巢穴，吸引着志同道合并且才华横溢的音乐人加入进来。除了两位创始人，主音吉他手hide、贝斯手Taiji、节奏吉他Pata相继加盟，而他们也成为了日后最为歌迷所熟知的X Japan初始阵容。从地下专辑《Vanishing Vision》到《Dahlia》，X Japan的音乐越来越成熟，一首首经典名曲相继诞生。 　　但巨大的成就往往伴随着磨难乃至悲剧，伤病、矛盾、解散、死亡等等，给这支传奇乐队涂抹了永远无法擦去的血污，这大概也是传奇终将要付出的代价。
