Yeah there is no physical law that prevents that. Except that sunrise is not stable, so now your whole time system needs to slew and skew around to match the changes, and the meaning of day divisions changes seasonally and even daily. Considering all that there might actually be some physical limits to what my infinite life Casio watch is going to handle. Maybe when it gets GPS it could work.

The intervals from noons to consecutive noons decrease for half the year and increase for half the year, averaging 24 hours, with the swing being about a minute. Similar for the intervals from sunrises to consecutive sunrises, except the swing can reach around 4 or 5 minutes. Either of those is stable enough to use its average as a reference.
