"...how would you measure it?"

You can suppose existence before the big bang but you can't suppose something existed 1m years before the big bang without space and units of time to count backward to the 1m years before the big bang. If there is no action there is no way to measure time. In which case there would be no time between the two things. If however there was a mini bang a million years ahead of the big bang you could measure it because of the events you suppose would lead up to the big bang, and reset t=0 to that mini bang point. The question remains, how does the time concept apply to before the point of t=0 where ever you set it? The time concept before t=0 is called eternity and you can suppose existence in eternity with time for the universe remaining at zero, albeit on different grounds.

Either the Big Bang is t=0, some other event is t=0, or there is no t=0 and the universe itself is eternal.
