IV is the Roman numeral. IIII is like hatch marks or something, you don't usually see that on a clock.

Do an image search. IIII is often used on clock faces because visual symmetry.

Wow I'd never seen that before. Also just curious on the reasoning, why would they use IIII for symmetry but not do anything about VI, VII and so on? Is it more to do with the width of the number when written down maybe?

I was taught that dividing the numbers naturally into thirds:

I  II III IIII (all I) 
V  VI VII VIII (all start with V) 
IX X  XI  XII  (all contain X)

Visually looks more "balanced" than having an extra V
