I found this to be a neat approach. However, putting code on different layers and switching between them causes problems with my project. My layers keep closing and by turning off the "Hide other layers" on the master broke the time.
My favorite way of keeping time has been to create a small animation that just moves a shape back and forth with each movement having one-half of the desired time interval. By placing this and all the code on the base layer of the master slide, I have a clock that works between slides and doesn't close all my other layers.
As a bonus, I can do things on the other half of the animation so I get 2 opportunities in each unit of time to trigger events. Effectively a 1 time unit clock and a half time unit clock.
