Assuming that your label is called 'label', try

GLib.Timeout.Add (1000, delegate {
    label.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString ("t");
    return true;
};

This technique is the easiest way to do it in GTK#. Essentially,
GLib.Timeout.Add is used to add a delegate that should be called after
a given number of milliseconds (in this case, 1000ms, which is 1s).
The method returns true to indicate that it should be called again
when another 1000ms have elapsed.
