    Hey ren!

    Just a bit of a silly question but though I'd ask the Apple Watch guru.

    Do you know why all sample Watch faces are set to 10:09? Is there a cool story here?

    Thanks! I really enjoy your work.

    Wasn't that the time that Steve Jobs released the original iPhone on stage?

    That's 09.41

    The Watch being set to 10:09 is a long standing tradition used by Watch makers that dates back years.

    It also looks like a smiley face
