Using NSTimer to fire a method on Previous Controller

Lets say I have a ViewController1 and a ViewController2. I segued from VC1 to VC2. So I am in ViewController 2 and I want to use 

[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10 target: selector: userInfo:nil repeats:NO]

to execute a method on ViewController1 (let's call it method1.) What are the parameters for NSTimer? Thanks

Why are you trying to do this? I'd use a delegate (protocol) and let VC1 handle the timing in case VC2 is destroyed.

On segue:

VC2.delegate = VC1

On event:

self.delegate.firedEvent()

On VC1:

func firedEvent() {
    // delay here
}
