Sorry I didn't notice you already tried cheese.

FFMpeg can do it. 

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -s 640x480 -r 30 -vf \
"drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: \
text='\%T': [email protected]: x=7: y=460" -vcodec libx264 -vb 2000k \
-preset ultrafast -f mp4 output.mp4

Its not very user friendly, but here is a page that can help, Adding time stamp overlay to video stream using ffmpeg and I'm sure there are more.
