    Becasue there was no one inventor of the clock.

    12 hours of daylight existed (ancient Sumer) about 4,000 years before the modern clock (medieval Europe)

    Even when clocks were invented, it was hundreds of years before they also showed minutes, and another hundred or so years before they showed seconds.
