Looking up the answer is the way to do it. You're of course supposed to pay at some attention instead of copy-pasting without using your brains. As you keep doing things, you'll develop a rough idea of how things are done.
You mean building the thing without any reference? Except for the most basics, you're not supposed to memorize everything by the smallest details. Imagine asking a lawyer to know the details of every single law off the top of their head.
Seriously, go build that clock.
I agree with all the advice given in this thread. I just want to add that I think you should try to avoid chatgpt (or least use it in a way it explains the problem to you without giving you the answer), as it solves trivial problems easily, and solves complex problems with bugs.
