Set UI elements on equidistant points on circumference of an ellipse using XAML

I'm making an analog clock-like app and I need the numbers (represented by buttons) on my clock face to be at equidistant points from one another. Is there a way to identify the specific ponts and the distances between them on the ellipse and then place the UI elements centered on the appropriate points? I have a feeling I would need to use a Canvas for this but the logic for its implementation evades me.

In other words, how do I place buttons or other controls on certain equidistant points along a predefined geometry so that they are anchored to those points?
