No. The first "Clock" would make a shadow from the sun to show what time it was.
Sundial
The oldest type of clock is the sundial, which dates back to ancient times. These clocks used the sun's position to indicate the time of day through the shadow cast by a marker on a dial. Sundials were widely used before mechanical clocks were invented.
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 shadow clock, also known as a sundial, is a device that tells time by the position of the sun's shadow. To use it, simply place the sundial in direct sunlight and read the time based on where the shadow falls on the dial. Keep in mind that sundials are most accurate at solar noon, which occurs when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
It is unknown who created the clock. The first clocks were known as sundials. They were used by using the sun to cast a shadow on the ground.

the shadow clock was used in 1400.
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.
It is believed that the shadow clock was originally made around 1500 B.C. It was the first predecessor of the clock that measured hours, although they were different numbers than those on modern clocks.

The common name for the timekeeping device sometimes known as a shadow clock is a sundial.
Sundial
A shadow clock, also known as a sundial, works by casting a shadow from the sun onto marked hour lines on a plate or surface. As the sun moves across the sky, the position of the shadow changes, indicating the time of day. By tracking the movement of the shadow, one can determine the approximate time.
