I'd believe apple if they said that it is a coincidence.

[edit]Serious request - could someone link a numberless clock design that is different from that above? I re-checked the link, but all I see are clocks that use the same principle - marking each minute, specially marking five-minutes or perhaps 15 minutes.

The second hand of the clock is the realy obvious bit, but the weight, size and shape of the marks and hands is also obviously (badly) copied.

As for your other request:
