This is a clock-face that I could have designed. It's so basic and derivative.
OK. I realize that this is just my personal opinion, but I think the clock is ugly as sin.
The Swiss railway authority should be embarrassed to about their clock.
The Swiss Railway Authority should be paying Apple a hefty sum for using such an ugly icon.
Now, I must admit that I have no use for a clock with no numbers on it. When I buy a new watch which I do about every four or five years, it must have arabic numerals on it. Not hash marks, not Roman Numerals, but Arabic numerals. I want to be able to look at my watch, or clock, and know what time it is. I do not want to have to sit there and count hash marks to figure out what time it is.
Of course, your mileage may vary. If you like the clock, then I am happy for you and I hope you live a long and happy life.

Yes, It's about time they sorted this... ;-)
I think it is actually a gorgeous looking clock. It is I think a design classic.
Yeah I could have done those silly Jackson Pollock splashy drippy paintings, so basic....and don't even get me started on Rothko....
Waste of money
Sensible yes after this Swiss company had to call them out.
It would have been nice for Apple to license it properly in the first place and actually follow what they were preaching themselves in the Samsung trial.
I guess I licensed mine when I bought it.
I agree. Could have just stuck with the clock that was already being used on the iPhone.
That's what Apple should have done first place.
I still wonder if either Apple didn't know that their clock was so close to the Swiss Railway design or just didn't care??
Mondaine are one of the companies who are licensed to use the design, so your wristwear is quite safe should any lawyers be hovering.I guess I licensed mine when I bought it.
This is a clock-face that I could have designed. It's so basic and derivative. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's designer came up with it on his/her own coincidentally. But yeah, it would look like a total ripoff if it weren't so generic. I would have rejected this design.
Are you seriously implying the clock is an artistic design? It's not.
I guess I licensed mine when I bought it.
Wasn't there a story that Swiss Railway wanted no monetary funds from apple, just an admission the copied the design- in fact i thought they were flattered.
