Have you ever noticed, when you're looking through a magazine or anything that is advertising wrist watches, the time is always set at 10:10? The next time you see something that is advertising wrist watches, look at the time it is set on. I don't really notice it with wall watches, it's mostly wrist watches.

Yes, that is industry standard; they've been doing it for years and years. It's the most attractive and appealing way to display the product.

By putting the hour hand on the ten and the minute hand on the two, the area under the twelve (where the manufacturer's name is usually located) can be easily seen. I have no idea why they would do this for digital watches or clocks unless it was just tradition.

They have the watches set at 10:10, cause it makes it looks like the clock is smiling.

Its to display the clock with the minute and the hour hand along with the seconds.The image looks positive and clear.Also 10 :10 sounds something like a pendulum sound,tun tun!Interesting!

it's depends on brand, every brand chose for some time setting for they own. 4 xmpl Rolex has always the dayt of 28st and it is 10:10 and Omega has 8th and time set on 10:13 etc...

You made me look. To be fair a couple were at 10:09. It must be something they found to be most appealing to the eye.

Its to emphasize the logo that is under the 12.
