that's nonsense, since 'is' (in the statement above) means:

the 'thing' we call 'time' would depend on clocks.

But that is absolutely untrue.

That would be equivalent to:
'the quantity length' would depend on yardsticks.

Instead:
we have something that we call 'time', which can be measured with clocks 
(and other devices). But time does not depend on clocks (because clocks 
are man-made device), but is created as a feature of nature.

Our aim is now NOT the measurement of time, but to find out, why and how 
nature is able to maintain this feature
