Excel 2010: Macro Button Stop Watch

Curious if someone has a stop watch macro that I can use.  I'd like to track how much time worked on each event on my spreadsheet.  If I had a macro button I could embed on each row, I could click on each button in each row to do this.  I could click on this button before I begin, then click on the button when finished.  It would then populate the total time worked in column L of my spreadsheet in each cell.  If it could compute a running total of timed worked that would be awesome too.  Thank you for your help.

i think i found a macro that works just need to enter proper syntax for entire L column range.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Private Sub TickTock()
Range ("L2").Value = Format (Time - t, "hh:mm:ss")
NextTick = Now + TimeValue ("00:00:01")
Application.OnTime NextTick, "TickTock"
End Sub

What do you mean by entire L column? Can you give an example?
Here is a screenshot of the spreadsheet and button set-up.  Hopefully this will help.

Please upload your excel file so that we can continue from there. Fake the values if needed.
the module you provided was nice, however it doesnt track total time.  i.e. It doesnt start from 00:00:01 and count up.  Being able to click on the cell to start and stop is nice, the only problem with the current module is that it doesnt matter where you click on the worksheet it will embed a clock and not a timer.  I need a timer that can be stopped and started via a button or buttons (start and stop button) or stopped and started with a double-click and limit to one columns entire range if need be.  Hope that makes sense.
Here is a sample file...
