Do you mean like an IOT (internet of things) clock? Like, connected to the internet and synced with online time?

If you have never played with an arduino, building a clock might be a hard task to do as a first project.

 

You might want to start playing with running some code on the arduino, and then with each of your parts separately.

then connect it all together.

 

For getting time you could use https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/NTPclient

And use the Adafruit gfx library for the screen, (there are better one's but this one has a lot of documentation and is a good starting point)
