Sure, this happens to me too, all the time. In my case the number is 217. It started when I dated a girl whose birthday was Feb. 17.
I believe that you are exposed to all sorts of numbers in your daily environment, but most of the time you unconsciously filter them out because they are unimportant. Once you get into this number recognition mode, however, the number will move from unconscious to conscious recognition every time you see it.
I'd bet that clocks enter your field of vision more than you think, but you're not noticing them unless they confirm this pattern of interest.

This can mean whatever you want it to mean, of course. I'm not going to tell you that it's just coincidence and I'd keep an open mind about this.
