The first hunter-gatherer who pushed a stick into the ground and watched its shadow move with time might claim to be the inventor of the clock. But that was back in pre-history, before the development of written records or even permanent settlements.

Much later came the use of primitive clocks like the sundial and the water clock. But we are lucky to find examples of these from before 1500-2000 BC, and few carry any record of their designer or manufacturer.

So I'm afraid we shall never know the answer to your question. Specific types of clocks, possibly, when civilisations developed and records were kept
