Hello Pradip,
I think - the logical reason would be:
1. 10:10 in a analog clock is clearly visible.
Consider 07:40, the two hands will be close to each other ... when you see from a distance .. is it possible to clearly identify the time in a second? No you cannot.
2. In clock / watch advt, it is important that we show the beauty / elegance of that clock in a few seconds.
What other time will be suitable - other than 10:10 to represent it; may be we can have 06:00 but it will again look like a straight line. Isn't?
I feel this might be the reason.

Everyone has different answer to this question. Watch companies say because it seems like a "smile" this is why they have it but personally I believe the World War 2 theory.
It is to remember the victims of Hiroshima. The nuclear bomb was blasted in Hiroshima, Japan during World War 2 and it was 10:10 am in Japanese local time.

sturdy statement; there are distinct perspectives going round that this replaced into the time Abe Lincoln died, some say that this replaced into time he replaced into shot neither of that's real. There are others who say that the inventor died right now that's back incorrect. the reason (I had requested someone in the international of Tita once) is that in this situation each of the coolest factors of the watch are seen prominently - the emblem, the date, day, chronograph and so on. basically examine the Seiko and Casio watches which have a lot of excellent factors displayed the position this actuality is honestly underlined.
