   1. a machine for measuring time, indicating the hour and
      other divisions; in ordinary mechanical clocks for
      domestic or office use the time is indicated on a
      typically circular face or dial plate containing two
      hands, pointing to numbers engraved on the periphery of
      the face, thus showing the hours and minutes. the works of
      a mechanical clock are moved by a weight or a spring, and
      it is often so constructed as to tell the hour by the
      stroke of a hammer on a bell. in electrical or electronic
      clocks, the time may be indicated, as on a mechanical
      clock, by hands, but may also be indicated by direct
      digital readout, with the hours and minutes in normal
      arabic numerals. the readout using hands is often called
      analog to distinguish it from the digital readout. some
      clocks also indicate the seconds. clocks are not adapted,
      like the watch, to be carried on the person. specialized
      clocks, such as atomic clocks, may be constructed on
      different principles, and may have a very high precision
      for use in scientific observations.

clock 1. n 1. techspeak the master oscillator that steps a cpu or
   other digital circuit through its paces. this has nothing to do with the
   time of day, although the software counter that keeps track of the
   latter may be derived from the former. 2. vt. to run a cpu or other
   digital circuit at a particular rate. "if you clock it at 100mhz, it
   gets warm.". see overclock. 3. vt. to force a digital circuit from one
   state to the next by applying a single clock pulse. "the data must be
   stable 10ns before you clock the latch."

[8] : The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)

clock
     
        a processor's clock or one cycle thereof.  the relative
        execution times of instructions on a computer are usually
        measured by number of clock cycles rather than seconds.  one
        good reason for this is that clock rates for various models
        of the computer may increase as technology improves, and it is
        usually the relative times one is interested in when
        discussing the instruction set.

[9] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

clock, n.  a machine of great moral value to man, allaying his concern
for the future by reminding him what a lot of time remains to him.

    a busy man complained one day:
    "i get no time"  "what's that you say?"
    cried out his friend, a lazy quiz;
    "you have, sir, all the time there is.
    there's plenty, too, and don't you doubt it --
    we're never for an hour without it."
