You cannot say 時をとまれ as とまる is an intransitive verb. Things can とまる, but you cannot とまる anything.
We say 時よとまれ.

Ah, nice to know. I thought it must be wo since I knew wo to be an object marker and didn't know yo had any particular meaning apart from a "new information" marker... I'd seen it written down both ways, and in spoken (and FAST) Japanese they sound very similar, so.. I didn't really know which was the right one.
Thanks for clearing it up.
What about toki vs. jikan in this case though?
