Please add any details by editing the question, because it is not clear, what you want to achieve and which level of variability you want.
In addition it is recommended to use meaningful tags, because they are used to classify the questions. Nearly all questions concern "Matlab code". I'm not able to give better tags by my own, because you did not specify, if your problem concerns a TIMER, SPRINTF, FPRINTF to the command window or to a file, a GUI, etc.

try
datestr(datenum(0,0,0,12,(0:15:15*9)',0),'HH:MM')
ADD after Samer's answer
m=15;
id = [6 16];
time1 = cellstr(datestr(datenum(0,0,0,12,m*(1:diff(id)+1),0),'HH:MM'));
xlswrite('1.xlsx',time1,1,sprintf('A%d',id(1)));

Looking at the documentation for datenum (<http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/datenum.html>) it looks like the minute increment is set by the line;
(0:15:15*9)'
in his code above, you would just have to change that to get different increment values (replace 15 -> 30 or 60).

Clock=char('12:00','12:15','12:30','12:45','13:00','13:15','13:30','13:45','14:00');
for i = 1:size(Clock,1)
Clock(i,:)
end

Try running this script... It has some ideas you might use, but it is hardly optimal.
startTimeString = '12:00';
stopTimeString = '14:00';
startTimeDV = datevec(startTimeString);
stopTimeDV = datevec(stopTimeString);
timeInterval = input('Enter the time step in minutes.\n');
thisTime = startTimeDV;
while thisTime(4) < stopTimeDV(4)
% a hack to count +60 minutes as hour
thisTime = datevec(datestr(thisTime));
thisTimeString = datestr(thisTime);
disp(thisTimeString(end-7:end))
thisTime(5) = thisTime(5) + timeInterval;
end

If you just want a loop with only 3 different intervals maybe this crude method can help Clock15=char('12:00','12:15','12:30','12:45','13:00','13:15','13:30','13:45','14:00');
Clock30=char('12:00','12:30','13:00','13:30','14:00');
Clock60=char('12:00','13:00','14:00');
based on gui if u use popup menu use switch case and give either of Clock15/Clock30/Clock60 to Clock and write a loop,
for i = 1:size(Clock,1)
Clock(i,:)
end
