Further indication that the clock may lead to a new Android version:

>Google Plus user Derek Ross has noted that in the recently released promotional video for the new Gmail, the clock on the Nexus 4 being used to show off the revamped Android app shows a time of 4:30. 4.3, 4:30? Purely coincidence, right? Not so fast.

>According to Ross, this follows a similar pattern of previous Android releases. By looking at promotional materials for other Nexus devices, you’ll find that the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 were all featured in promo shots where the time on their clocks corresponded to the version of Android they were launched with, or running at the time.

>GottaBeMobile did some digging on these claims, and found a video of the Nexus S showing a time of 2:30, a Nexus 7 at 4:10 and a picture of the Galaxy Nexus at 4:00. If you head over to Google Play right now, all of the renders of the Nexus 4 and 10 show a time of 4:20. It looks to be that way for the Nexus 7 as well.
