Every time you see a watch/clock advertisement in news paper or television... it is always shown ten past ten & forty seconds in the watch model?

I have wondered the same question myself. When I was little (30+ years ago), I had a coin bank that looked like a clock. It said 10:10. Because of this, I've always been aware of that time, and have noticed the same as you. I can't explain it, but I hope someone out there can.

OK, I was curious enough to go look at 15 watch ads I found via Google. NONE of them was exactly 10:10:40. The closest was 10:12:00.
It's pretty clear to me that the goal in the photos is to ensure that the propspective buyer can clearly see what the hands look like.

unused clocks n watches educate the time as 10 hrs 10 Min's n 35 secs because the call of the generating organization that's outlined in the centre extremely below the quantity '12' is then thoroughly and obviously seen.

Maybe it looks like a smiley face. Also, it is a tradition.
