Rest of your post requires no answering. Only this requires a rejoinder. The example itself indicates the narrow span of the view. You have taken as example an object of a very short span, which was created, apparently by man, but truly with the power of consciousness, to synchronise with a power of God called time --- the relative movement of Sun.
Thelarger perspective is that a man on waking finds that the sun and all other elemets of nature have taken their own course and he is set in a pattern to think that these things happen apart from the consciousness. The problem is that a noosed consciousness is not able to appreciate the infinite ONE CONSCIOUSNESS, who is the creator and keeper of time and all of the nature.
This infinite consciousness has a Tamiswaram -- the controller of Gunas -- apparently a passive seer but Param Paraasrad. All these are created by the Tapas of Narayaana. Apparently, the seer Rudra does nothing. But Yajur Veda has a verse: The Sun did not shine. Gods prayed to Rudra and Soma. Thereby He restored the shine.
There are many other verses indicating the infinite power of chintamani consciousness, which is true god everywhere and within. It is ONE. And Vedas speak of Tamiiswaram Lord and other yogis who harness this infinite consciousness. The whole of so-called creation exists in this consciousness. Gautama muni (from Rig Veda), parts a mountain and brings down a river, employing Maruts. Visvamitra creates an army from his mind. And Vashista destroys that army by another army created from a durva grass. Vama Deva exclaimed "I created the Sun, I created the Moon". The Rig Veda is an eulogy to this infinite consciousness, which is the seer/the seeing/the seen as one entity.
The yogi who merges in this infiniteness, without any desire becomes That.
Coming back to the clock. A yogi can stop it. He can also make it vanish. Advaitin yogis will not do it for you. But lesser siddhas do it. Being of limited view jivas hold that an appearance existing in consciousness (which really is the infinite consciousness alone), as an independent object. Can any object exist outside the consciousness? How then one knows about that object?
Where is that clock which you might have created in one of your dreams? Where is the watch, which you were wearing in your last incarnation? And why do not you check the time using the clock (of your day time consciouness) during your dream and your shushupti? Where was this time keeper clock before its invention? However all through, the TIME was there. But the time is there constantly in the time-keeper -- the infinite consciousness called Turiya, which itself is time less.
So, one who is capable of joining one's mind (through absolute thoughtlessness) with Turiya goes beyond TIME -- what to talk of your clock? Such a Yogi, without volition and without being a yogi (being Turiya itself since there is no second), can manifest a clock that has day as night and night as day. he he.
Lord has said: What is day for the yogis is night for the ignorant.

To avoid unnecessary confusion, I stress right here that I understand that this is not intended for mass consumption or as a prescription. It will be useful however, if even one person begins recognising the subtle and eternal truths enshrined in Vedas.
Om Namah Shivayya
Let us leave your irrelevant answers aside - as you have simply escaped direct questions.
Is ignorance svarUpa or dharma of Brahman? Or apart from Brahman? And who is in ignorance? If you can answer them, then we can examine your views more deeply.
Guard your Dharma, Burn the Myth, Promote the Truth, Crush the superstition.
