The maximum interval of the timer control is 60000 '60 seconds.

So you can implement it with 15 timers.
Every 60 second enable other timer and disable this timer.

lol sorry you can implement it with one timer too.
Declare a variable as a counter and increase it every 60 seconds, if variable get equal to 15 execute your command.

Teach your Timer to count.
Have it fire once a minute (or thereabouts; they're not the most accurate things in the World) and have it count how many times it has fired so far (i.e. increment a [Form level] variable). When it gets to fifteen (or whatever), have the Timer code call the method that does the real work.

That is a waste of resources.

Another option is to set the start time and test the system clock for the difference between starttime and now within your timer. If you want it to be very accurate, within a second or so set the timer interval to one second and test the time in your timer tick event

Every 60 second enable other timer and disable this timer.

That would be a horrible choice, definitely would not do this under any condition
