TKD gives us *tlhaq* for "chronometer" which is essentially a clock. 
Considering how similar this word is to it's English counterpart we could
probably put this one on our list of Okrands little jokes.

I think you are relying on "pu'" to much here.  Remember that in Klingon,
the concept of "tense" does not really exist.  The context of the sentence
indicates it's aspect.  I would recast this as:

paq, tlhaq je vIneH 'ej paq, tlhaq je vIje'ta'.
