Kelly, your description of how you made this is beyond my understanding, but the image is wonderful.

Photoshop Details:
The eight clocks were selected and moved to their own layer and set to Screen mode with opacity settings varying from 100% to 85%. Then the eight clocks were copied to new layers just above their respective copy and set to normal mode with opacity settings varying from 10% to 13% - this helped bring out parts of the outer circle of each clock face. Lastly, and on top of the layers, was a separate image from a small nearby stream warped more or less into conforming with the receding lines of the clocks - layer made set to Difference and 80% opacity.

Setup Details:
The clock was mounted and counter-weighted on a 1x2 piece of wood that was attached to a pivot point. The radius of the arc was about 60 cm (24") and swung 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90° and 105° for each photo beginning with the closest image first (focal length 10mm). After setting the tilted camera up to capture the arc and other compositional elements I got to try out my (then) new wireless remote while using a small LED flashlight to consistently illuminate just the clock face. Here's a clearer shot of the radial clock faces;
