The google link doesn't really show that many clocks without numbers - I think google links aren't absolute.
Even so, those I saw mostly worked along the same principle - remove the number, enlarge the "five minute" marks, perhaps leave the minutes.
Not all use a seconds hand, and certainly not shaped like the SBB one, though.
BTW, would you say that MS also copied the design? (See attachment)
I'm not saying they're identical, just that it's the same general principle again.
Perhaps apple copied the design, might just be - but I think it's not really worth protection in the first place. It can easily be coincidence.
(Nor are rounded corners and such.)
