It would have to explain how we construct “Now” from atemporal cells that are without a clock.

This problem, while interesting in its own right, is entirely irrelevant to consciousness. Especially because, regardless of how it's achieved, it's actually very clearly known that we do have temporal processes in our body - our tell-tale hearts being quite an iconic example.

Why? You can build a clock with any basic oscillator and we're chock full of them.
