Remember that QML children have access to parent objects. So if you have 
a top of the tree, you can place the timer there and access it from all 
the other objects by id name. Personally, I really don't like this, but 
it's an option for you.

Another would be to do this in C++ and expose the object by name so it's 
available to all of them.
