Yes, you can replace "when talking about time" with "when we talk about time". Keep in mind that the nuance of each phrase is slightly different. "When talking about time" is a general statement that refers to anyone talking about time. While "when we talk about time" has the same meaning, the use of "we" makes this phrase sound more personal.
