that's actually not too far from the truth. FHB has actually done interviews where he talked about locking in some watchmakers into a room and told them to only come out when they finished designing a new watch, which became the code 11.59. I can't find the interview, and I don't remember if he said it in a joking tone or not, but pretty funny regardless

it's a great watch though, just not a good value at msrp
