\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tikz[label distance=2mm]%<---------------------
\node[
circle,
fill=gray!45,
label=above:12,
label=right:3,
label=below:6,
label=left:9
]
{clock};
\end{tikzpicture}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tikz[label distance=2mm]%<---------------------
\node[
circle,
fill=gray!45,
label={[label distance=2cm]above:12},
label=right:3,
label=below:6,
label=left:9
]
{clock};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
EDIT
Syntax
label={[label distance=2cm]angle:label text}]
MWE
