Who owned the first clock in history?

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.
