The simplest way is to buy one.
(And probably the cheapest one)

And certainly that makes them very available.

If the goal is to build a clock, then obviously it's not a good suggestion.

But if the goal is to use the clock for something else, then it makes
the most sense. Buy a cheap digital clock, be it off the shelf or
used, extract the actual clock and then use that like a module.

It's not all that different from the big era of "clock builders" who
were buying National Semiconductor clock modules, and putting them in
boxes. Or even the kits that directly proceeded them, where the builder
just had to solder the parts to the supplied board.
