Why usually most of the watches/clocks shows time 10.12?

Question

It is usually found in all shops or advertisements of watches/ clocks. But why it is 10.12

Answer 1

I was always told it was the time of night that President Lincoln got shot. But he actually died the next morning about 7:30am.

Answer 2

First of all, the 10:10 position does not block out the watch company’s name or logo. In this position the hands act as a frame for the name or logo.

Some watches have the model name or some lettering such as the chronometer rating at the bottom section of the dial. There are watches that have a subdial for the seconds hand at the 6:00 o’clock position and indicating the time as 10:10 does not interfere with any of these.

Some companies have started using 10:08 or 10:12 as the time shown on the watch in their ads. This stops the longer minute hand from blocking out the numeral or marker at the 2:00 o’clock position.

On a chronograph with subdials at 3:00 o'clock and/or 9:00 o'clock 5:08 or 6:53 may be used to frame one of the subdials without blocking the watch company's name or logo.

In addition, when the hands are in the 10:10 position they form a “smiley” face instead of a “frown” that would be portrayed if the time is set at 8:20.

Answer 3

The tradition began in the 1950's, when a pyschologist hired by an advertising firm determined that people subconsciously view two symmetrical,raised hands to be more uplifting. Prior to that time, most clocks were advertised at slightly after 8:00.

Answer 5

Aside from being symmetrical (and a subconscious smile) it allows you to see all the features of the clock (and moreso with a watch)

Because when the watch hands are showing that time, all the features of the watch are crearly visible i.e. brand name, water resistant symbol, date etc etc
