A clock has a face,as does a person, so to hit it hard enough to knock the dust off might be one meaning. Also, the gauge for airbrake pressure on a train is called a clock, so to clean the clock (set to zero) is to put the brakes on, stop in your tracks.

To give a thorough thrashing.

"clock" has been slang for the human face since the mid-nineteenth century, based on its supposed resemblance to the face of a clock. "Clock" as a verb has also been slang for "to punch in the face or strike violently" since the early 20th century, again based on the clock-face metaphor.

"clean" has been slang for "vanquish" since the early 19th century. O. Henry used the phrase "fix someone's clock" to mean "to finish someone."

Another idea:
In railroad slang, an engineer who applies the train's air brakes in an emergency is said to "clean the clock" or "wipe the gauge" as the speedometer needle drops to zero. It seems logical that such a graphic metaphor would be the perfect way to describe stopping an opponent in his tracks,

I think old people would tend to say this phrase. It is a phrase that would denote someone wanting to beat you up or fight you with the expectation that they would win.
