it's just a time that the company decided on that looks average, and doesn't send any bad subliminal messages. It looks good. it can't be on any right angles and it can't be going downward because that would be a negative thing. I remember asking this when I worked somewhere I had to have every clock in the store on 10:10 as well or I would get points off on a mystery shop. Lucky most manufacturers actually start them there now.

So that you can see the name on the face of the watch as most of them are between the 10 and the 2.

There have been studies that reveal that this position shows watches or clocks in their best light for marketing.

The Cat was correct on this one... it is so the consumers (us) can see the name of the watch.

So as not to obscure the name of the watch.

I was a watch repairman for years and I can tell you that we were told as students that was the time that Christ died.
