"It is five to three" (3-e) beş (5) var.
25 : yirmi beş(twentyfive) is ok

5.00= saat bes
12.10= saat on ikiyi on geciyor
14.05= saat dortu bes geciyor
9.15= saat dokuzu ceyrek geciyor
12.30= saat on iki bucuk
11.55= saat on ikiye bes var
10.45= saat on bire ceyrek var
the accusative (-i hali)= -i(biri),-i (kizi), -yi(altiyi), -u(dokuzu), -yu(koyluyu)
the dative (-e hali)= -a(ona), -e(bese), -ya(ablaya), -ye(anneye)

when using "geçiyor" you reference the hour behind and the first number takes the accusative case ending:
-i, -ı, -u, -ü, -yi, -yı, -yu, -yü
ex.
12.10= saat on ikiyi on geçiyor
4.05= saat dördü beş geçiyor
9.15= saat dokuzu çeyrek geçiyor
when using "var" you reference the hour ahead and the first number takes the dative case ending:
-e, -a, -ye, -ya
ex.
11.55= saat on ikiye beş var
10.45= saat on bire çeyrek var

OKe thank you!
When using "geçiyor" you reference the hour behind and the first number takes the accusative case ending:
-i, -ı, -u, -ü, -yi, -yı, -yu, -yü
But why then with "var" only
-e, -a, -ye, -ya.
I know we use, with "geçiyor" -i (+ vocal hormony)
and with "var" -e (+vocal hormany). So know I am looking for these harmony rules. I know there is an explanation by "learns turkish" but I don't get that

That's because you use the dative case, which only has the -a/-e harmony, not the -i/-ı/-ü/-u harmony.
