Various types of "clock" were developed during ancient times, but not the modern round-faced clock with a clockwork or digital mechanism. Water clocks and sundials were used in ancient Egypt, classical Greece and Rome long before the medieval period and they continued to be used throughout the Middle Ages.
The earliest mechanical clocks seem to have been developed in the late 12th/early 13th centuries, but none survive and nothing is known about their technology. They may still have been operated by water flowing from an upper reservoir into a lower one.
Even with the invention of genuine clock mechanisms in Europe during the late 13th century, such clocks were extremely rare and unknown to most people.
