Is this a homework assignment, or just something that you're doing for fun?
It seems homework-ish. We don't mind pointing you in the right direction on
homework assignments, but we definitely won't do it for you.

Tkinter doesn't have a native clock widget, so if you want to make a clock
you need to roll your own.

Giving us code (especially such a small amount) is exactly the right thing
to do when you ask a question - it shows that you've tried something, and
if it's broken it usually shows why it's broken.
You can add text to the Label widget - and you can change the text on that
widget.
You're already importing the time module - for more information about what
it contains, you can run the interactive interpreter and do this:
>>> import time
>>> help(time)
Or you can look online for the commands that might help you.
If you get stuck, let us know what you're doing and where you're stuck at.
HTH,
