They invented the 365-day calendar. They used the Sun to keep track of the days throughout the years. They divided the year into 3 seasons of 4 months. Each month had 30 days. Their year had 360 days. The ancient Egyptians also used shadow clocks. The first ones were obelisks. The moving shadows formed a kind of sundial to help tell time. The sundial was then used very often since.

Who invented the hour hand on a clock?
It's hard to say. Clocks have been around for a couple of thousand years, going back to the Ancient Egyptians, who invented the water clock around 1400 B.C., or even earlier to 3500 B.C. to the invention of the sundial. I suppose the hour hand on a clock was invented in 1510 by Peter Henlein of Germany, whose spring-powered clock, though pitifully imprecise, was an important precursor to invention of the pendulum-powered clock, which included both a minute hand and an hour hand.
