I have a clock making business and need to put the translation on one of my clocks.

Conairí na huaire
Explanation:
Sorry for keeping you waiting for a reply but I have only recently revisited this site. My translation means "Pathways of time". We use 'conaire' to describe a pathway or a track rather than an artificial path. The word 'uair' is used to mean 'time' but, in context, may also be translated as 'time', or 'season'. I hope that this translation catches the feeling behind the English phrase and suits your particular requirement of using it in relation to a clock!

Ooops! Sorry. I didn\'t mean to bombard you with the answer. I must have hit the return key too hard or more than once. If someone is monitoring this site, they have my permission to remove two of the above answers!
