Although we can control the time of the turns of a chess match with traditional clocks, it's much easier if we use an application of the likes of Chess Clock. As you've probably gathered from its name, it's an application that offers us the possibility to control the time that each player uses during his turn, available in different formats, even allowing us to configure customized time control systems.
