According to Timex, the hands on timepieces are placed at 10:10 so that the company logo on the face will be framed, and not blocked by the hands Timex says the industry standard used to be 8:20, but that looked too much like a frown, and created an unhappy look. Timex says, in it's ads, the hands are always placed at 10:09:36 exactly

The hands are set at those times, so that the name brand of the watch can be "framed" by the hands.

Advertisers a long time ago decided that was the most asthetic or appealing time to the eye. I don't know why.

I have wondered this myself. Maybe we should ask a watch maker or a jeweler?
