I used an LCD watch many years ago. I am retired so now at home I use 1 LCD clock on my thermostat, 3 clock radios and fluorescent clocks on my stove and microwave oven. My car, phone and tablet have LCD clocks.
But usually I ask my Google Assistant for the time.

Many people on this forum get paid over a hundred dollars an hour for the kind of work you expect us to do for free.

We are happy to mentor and assist people who have a desire to learn and show some initiative to solve the problem on their own. Our function is to get you unstuck, not to do your project for you. If that is what you want, hire simeone.

Yes. I am 'Little'. Thank you for making me feel that.
We can but try to help
but you have to do the work, and we can guide you

What I think the discussion has shown, and its no reflection upon you,
is that you are trying to run, which is a great ambition
but your not walking yet.
at the moment we are no talking the same language,
an example, we ask about clock accuracy, we were expecting an answer like 5 seconds per day or such like.

Thanks Doctor Johnsmith...
I have chosen ATMega328 for my project.
What is the right debugging device to connect it with my PC?

Have you used any Arduino devices or software before? If not, you are in for a very steep learning curve. I recommend that you use an Arduino Uno clone to develop your product. There are very good tutorials on the Arduino website to help you to download and use the Arduino programming language. There are also many very halpful detailed tutorials on different projects, including clocks. Once your project is working, you can transfer the design to a circuit board with the ATMega328 and the other components on it. You can then use the Uno to upload the developed program to the microcontroller chip.The instructions are all on the internet. Be ready to do a lot of learning.
If you run into problems, we are here to help you to solve them.

This is why helping you has been so difficult. An ATMega328 has nothing at all to do with the various bits of specification you’ve provided. While I couldn’t have told you what to buy, I could have told you that any AVR MCU would not be on the list.

Can you see how this is very frustrating to someone who would actually like to help?

In any case, I need to stick to my decision to leave this conversation before I regret it.

Being a Microsoft programmer for the past 13 years...
so what do you know about the arduino environment ?
the IDE is "all powerful"
the boards have a built in boot loader,
as a Microsoft programmer, I guess small things like arduino are not in your day to day job
Arduino is also not C as such, but the Arduino version of
if you want to use C++, you can but your into a much stepper learning curve than sticking with arduino
many arduino clockexamples around
note the built in arduino clock source is a resonator, not very accurate
https://linuxhint.com/make-digital-clock-arduino-uno/

this might also be of use

But you have totaly blown your orriginal specified cost just with the arduino, let alone the power or display needed.

Interesting and ready for the same.. My current setback is How to connect an electronic device with a PC... So that I can use visual studio to program the same...

Our world is very large.
I phoned my local Canadian Microsoft office for help and was transferred to a young lady who immediately fixed my problem.
I asked her if she is enjoying the sun today in the middle of our cold winter and she said she is in India in the middle of a very hot night.

Connecting an Arduino to a pc is just plug and play over usb.

This is a lot cheaper. I also find UNIs fir 1109 on Amazon.in.
Please provide the link for that 1109 priced item. ordering immediately. Please provide the link. Tried searching with different filters not able to locate. Please do the needful. Thank you.
