No, time is what the clock measures. Consciousness does not collapse the wave function meaning clocks exists without humans and time exists without humans.

Exactly, time is whatever the clock measures and the clock does it through some defined physical interaction. Can be a swing of a pendulum, can be vibration of an atom, flow of sand, unwinding of a spring etc.
It's useful because its quantifiable.
The second, however, is a purely human invention.
