Actually Cassie, I think there are *two* clocks.
There is a grandfather clock in a corner of the living room,
GoF 151 ch. 10. 
"It was completely useless if you wanted to know the time,but otherwise 
very informative. It had nine golden hands, and each of them was 
engraved with one of the Weasley family's names. There were no numerals 
around the face, but descriptions of where each family member might be. 
"Home," "school," and "work" were there, but there was also 
"traveling,""lost,""hospital," "prison," and, in the position where the 
number twelve would be on a normal clock,"mortal peril."

 Then there is *another* clock in the kitchen:
 CoS ch. 3 page 34 US hardcover.
	The clock on the wall opposite him had only one hand and no 
numbers at all. Written around the edge were things like Time to make 
tea, Time to feed the chickens, and You're late.

Hope this helps.
