  • ...reminds me of this famous railway station clock - still in production and service - all over the place and it was so enticing to apple that apple took the risk of patent / copyright infringement... but got settled for certain apple products w/ undisclosed conditions...

    The face - UI - and clock behavior - UX - were designed in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker, more than 75 years ago, and is still young and going - on every train platform... and trains pull out on the jumping second hand! ...an homage to the signal disk waved by the station master when telegraph lines were considered high-tech and the only electrical / electro mechanical communication thing...

    You can see a running example at https://codepen.io/bennettfeely/pen/JpxC­c ... the minute hand though jumps about 7 seconds late and details and proportions are a bit off.
