Counter that counts elapsed time

Hey all... I would like to put a counter on a slide that simply starts at 4,500 and adds 1 to the counter each second... without clicking a button or doing any other action. Is it possible? I've figured out how to do it if I add multiple triggers (ie, add 1 to the value when the timeline reaches 1 second, add 1 to the value when the timeline reaches 2 seconds, add 1 to the value when the timeline reaches 3 seconds, etc). I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do it than adding 100 triggers to count 100 seconds)

You could use an offstage, looped motionpath animation that is 1 sec. long and adds 1 to the counter every time the animation completes. See attached a quick example.
Thanks Michael, works great!!!!
I used the same technique (just with a much higher frequency) to create this timer here.
