++ No it was not. Even if we are talking only about mechanical clocks, discounting the Ancient Egyptian's Clespsydra (water-clock, timing by water dripping slowly between two vessels), clocks go back to Mediaeval times:
"
- Europe's oldest working clock (AD1386), now situated in the north nave aisle, used to be located in the Bell Tower (demolished in 1789). It has "ticked" more than 5 million times since it was first built

When was the alarm clock invented?
Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, invented an alarm clock in 1787. His alarm clock, however, rang at only one time-4 a.m. He invented this device so that he would never sleep past his usual waking time. He never patented or manufactured it. The first modern alarm clock was made by Antoine Redier (1817-1892) in 1847. It was a mechanical device; the electric alarm clock was not invented until around 1890. The earliest mechanical clock was made in 725 c.e. in China by Yi Xing and Liang Lingzan.
