He just looked at the clock and thought to himself "the hour hand has moved 15º degrees". There's someone beside him.

「そんなに経ってたか・・…」
時計を見ると、確かにさっきと比べて短針が一五度くらい動いているような気がする

I can't be bothered with the movement of the hour hand coz I watch things from a broad perspective

Just a suggestion for you to get the meaning across.
It'll be better to start the sentence with "But" - "But I can't be bothered with the movement of the hour hand coz I watch things from a broad perspective."

興味ないんで is like "I don't care about ..."
"Who cares about the movement of the hour hand? I only care about big pictures, and can't be bothered with the hour hand."
