How does parallax shift varies with distance?
The closer the star, the greater the parallax angle, which is why you can't measure the distance to very distant stars using the parallax method.
What could you measure using a stop watch?
the time it takes for something to be accomplished. example: the time it takes for you to run a mile.
What can one measure with a marine chronometer?

How do you know the time using stars?
Look at the position of the stars. See what degree they are at and you'll know the time. That's how ships used to navigate. The position of the stars will allow a knowledgable observer to tell the time. The observable stars depends on location and time of the year.
How do you measure time without using time invariant properties of any object?
The simple answer is by using time variant properties.
How do people measure time in older days?
