No. The first "Clock" would make a shadow from the sun to show what time it was.
Sundial
To tell time using a shadow clock, place a stick upright in the ground and mark its shadow at regular intervals throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow will move as well, allowing you to estimate the time based on the position of the shadow in relation to the marked intervals.
A clock that uses a shadow to tell time is called a sundial. It consists of a flat plate marked with hours and a gnomon (a vertical post) that casts a shadow on the plate. As the sun moves across the sky, the position of the shadow indicates the time of day. Sundials rely on sunlight, making them most effective during clear days.
A shadow is the absence of light. W/o light, what you get is black, or darkness.

There are 2 hours between 3 and 5 o'clock.

5 o clock
5'o' clock
Usually people say 5 to 8 - not 5 to 8 o'clock and NOT 5 of 8 o'clock. More common is digital format e.g 7:50
11 minutes to 5 is basically 11 minutes until 5 o' clock. that would be 5 o' clock (AM or PM) subtract 11 minutes. 11 minutes to 5 is 4:49.
The `Gnomon` is the part of the shadow clock, or sun dial, that casts a shadow onto the face from the sun, so that the time can be read.
Stand facing north. North is twelve o clock. Imagine a clock around you. wherever your shadow is facing is the time. if it is facing 90 degrees to your right is three o clock. 180 is 6 o clock. 240 degrees is 9 o clock. you will have to imagine where the other numbers are. if you don't now angles 90=a quarter of a circle 180=half 240=3 quarters.with this skill you can't get the exact time but it can get you close with practice.
