When did the first clock get made?

Well. Cosmically speaking the first clock was invented upon the initial spark igniting the creation of the Universe. The Universe is a clock, tick-tocking, spinning, rotating, spiraling down, all the while counting down to its own inevitable collapse and rebirth. The Universe defines and defies both space and time. If you think I kid, consider this.

We can comparatively measure the time the Universe takes only by measuring it to the age of the Earth and, to get down to the "second" we can measure how long we've been on the Earth. If the Earth existed as a calendar as humans are use to, January through December, humans have only existed for the last ten seconds of December 31. That's how old the planet is and that's how young we are. It teaches us that time is relative but should prove to you that the Universe was the first clock - now whether it was "invented" as to imply a clock-maker, is an whole other question.
