I do that by putting the ticking clock in the terminal emulator title
bar instead of in the prompt.

I also use a premcd to start the ticking, and initially set a longer
TMOUT so that it usually ticks only when I'm not actively editing the
buffer (I figure if I'm actively entering commands, having it update
after each command is often enough).
