Jiji Kokkoku
Things vary by jiji kokkoku (時々刻々).
Ji (時) means "time" or "hour," koku (刻) means "moment," the kanji 々 represents a repetition, and the combination jiji kokkoku/jiji kokukoku means that events or changes of things occur gradually and continuously.
Since jikoku (時刻) means just "time (of day)," the passage of time is expressed by repeating this.
Incidentally, you can write jiji kokkoku as 時時刻刻 without using the kanji character 々.
In English, it can be translated as "from hour to hour" or "every moment."

時々刻々
物事は「時々刻々」と変化します。
「時」は "time"、「刻」は時間の単位、そして漢字の「々」は繰り返しを意味し、「時々刻々」は「出来事や物事の変化が続けざまに起こること」を意味します。
単に「時刻」で "time (of day)" を意味するので、これを繰り返すことで時間の経過を表しているというわけです。
ちなみに、繰り返し文字を使わず「時時刻刻」と書くこともできます。
英語では、"from hour to hour" や "every moment" のように言い換えられます。
