setting the TimeCircle back to initial state with start: "false"

[PelegBN]

Hey again,

I'm using backbone.js event functions and I'm trying to reset the time circles to it's initial state and value , in case a certain function is called (basically by a button).
I can use the time circles functions [.start(), .stop() & .restart()] but none of those gives me the initial state (which is data-timer="60" seconds and "start" : false).
I've tried doing .restart() and right after .stop() but for some reason it shows the circle's time is 0.
I also tried .destroy() & .rebuild() but that didn't work either.

From what I've read in various forums, I understand what I'm trying to do is possible... but I couldn't succeed pulling it off. Maybe you could help? I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.
