Any Encyclopedia will report that clocks were invented in ancient times, as sundials are primitive clocks. As for mechanical clocks, there are public clocks from the 14th which are still on display in the Science Museum in Britain. See http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/on-line/wells-clock/index.asp
Invention of the ClockOne form of clock was first invented in Egypt. They used the water clock to tell time as they had no electricity. Clocks that used falling weights or pendulums appeared in Europe during the 13th century. Earlier civilizations used sundials to tell time during the day.
Clocks are technically one of the oldest inventions, originating in ancient history. Some of the oldest early clocks that we know of date back to 16th century BC, but true dates of origin are unknown. The first mechanical clock was created in 1360 AD by Henry de Vick for King Charles V of France.
Who owned the first clock has not been noted, so we don't know. Clocks have been around a long time. setting aside sundials (which people used back into prehistory to tell the time of day), clock mechanisms driven by water were known to exist in Egypt back to the 1500s BCE, and there is some evidence of water clocks existing in India and China as far back as 4000 BCE. Spring driven clocks were not invented until the 17th or 18th century in Europe, and (of course) the electric clock came into existence in the mid-20th century.
Clocks were not discovered they were invented.
No, the first clocks were not like modern clocks. They were simpler devices like sundials or water clocks that measured time using natural elements. It wasn't until the mechanical clock was invented in the Middle Ages that clocks began to resemble their modern form.

The first clocks (sundials) were invented a long time ago, and many historians can't place an exact date on their actual invention. Some believe that they first appeared in 3500 BC. Digital clocks and watches are newer inventions that were created in the modern era.
