why in all watch ads , time is shown as 10:11:37 seconds exactly....????

Question

I hv bn seeing it since childhood, bt nvr b able to find it out..... If ne1knows da answr... plz pass it to me.

Answer 1

Because it is a remembrance of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln where both of these happened at 10:11.
Its a way of just showing our remembrance.
Thats all.

Answer 2

The motive of showing 10:10 or 10:11 in the clocks - watches universally is quite intriguing. The reason however is that when the small hand (hour indicator) he watch / clock is on 10 and the bigger hand (minutes indicator) on 'minutes 10, it seems as if the clock is smiling - something to this effect :) - Thar is the norm followed by most watch / clock sellers
Cheers

Answer 3

I have never noticed that but I took a look at the Sears catalouge, and wow! Perhaps its so you can get a good look at all the hands (none are overlapping). Or so you can easily compare which looks better because they are in the same position...

Answer 4

You are pretty observent because i never noticed...but ill have to start paying attention to this. Maybe the time should show when the 1st plane hit the World Trade Center instead

Answer 5

This is an age of click and copy but prior to that also it was the age of coy(tracing).

In this position the watch is displayed in most attractive position and all the decorative feature are visible.

Answer 6

The famous tower clock BIG-BEN in London had supposedly gone nonworking only once till today. That time was 10.11. In its remembrance the time in all watch ads is shown thus.

Answer 7

The clock hands make a smiley-face, which is suppoed to influence you (subconsiously) with positive feelings towards what you are looking at

Answer 8

The founder of Watches has died at that particular time so I hope that is why it is marked every where

Answer 9

Because it makes the watch look like it is smiling.

Answer 10

So that the hands are kind of equally, or symetrically, spaced.
