A clock is a man made machine and usually counts something, which 
happens at a known fixed frequency.

But time is a natural phenomenon and not at all based on clocks.


Sure, we usually assume, that a day is 24 hours long.

But 'hour' was derived from the 24th part of a day.

We have some right to assume, that the rotation of Earth does not change 
abruptly or even slowly, hence we are entitled to assume, that the day 
has always the same length.

But this is difficult to prove, if the Earth itself is also our main 
'clock'.

Very long ago every noon some markings were carved into the early form 
of a calendar.

These days were counted and we have this early calendar as an early form 
of a clock.

Today much shorter intervals are countable and we have much better clocks.

But still we count events and calculate some sort of time values.

But most likely nature doesn't care about our clocks.
