Building a clock in a maximum entropy universe would entail that the universe is no longer at maximum entropy... Maximum entropy would be a soup of average particles.

But time is something different. The neutral kayon violates T symmetry, unlike all other subatomic entities which have a symmetry that exists forward or backward in time. This is an example of a measurement of time besides entropy.
That is quite possible. However, I'm of the opinion that such behaviors may also be considered steady-state, or independent of time.

With the Lorentz transformations points in space-time can be measured and time is of course one of the vectors.
The only issue is, time is a restricted dimension in the sense that there is essentially no choice in the way of how things travel along it, unlike the spatial dimensions, or the intensity of a color as some may like to use in 2D projections.
