That's a WIDGET.

It varies with which Android OS but on mine I put my finger on an open area of the screen I tap the icon that brings up all Apps. Look carefully for the word Widgets and on mine it's called Analog Clock. Place that on the screen where it fits and yes, it's analog. Tap on the clock and the settings come up and then I tap the menu icon and select "Desk clock".

Later I can access its settings by tapping the Add Alarm text.

Remember this varies from one Android to another but you are looking for adding a "Widget."

(NT) PS. I see the Weather Widget shows a clock too.
