"when I use timer so my application working very slow"
Does it imply that the app is fast without the clock ?

Well, yes. But, a Timer is the easiest way to go. If you code is "slow", not using a Timer isn't going to fix anything. The problem isn't with your Timer but with something else in your code.

Start with profiling your code to see where the bottlenecks are.

Here is an answer that will suit you: a digital clock program in c# ![^]

One hint: use thread, not a timer and, in the thread body also use System.DateTime. Even with timer, always take time from this structure, never rely on timer's timing. (But avoid a timer, a thread is much easier, safer and more correct, in general; make thread body a cycle calling System.Threading.Thread.Sleep with the sleep time less then a second.
