Why do all watch adverts show the time as 10.10?

Answer 1

Its standard for photographers and film makers. Its relating to the aesthetics of seeing both hands clearly.

A pointless fact for you. The alleged alien autopsy video that was released by ray santilli, for an example, at the outset the clock on the wall is set to this time.

Of course it can be 10 past 10, or 10 to 2.

Answer 2

It is really not meant to be a 'smile'.. It has been a tradition in the watch and clock business for many years.. Usually 10 after 10.....(With the name of the watch in between.) On some models, with the name on the bottom part of the face, they use 8:20 !!!!! It is just an aesthetically pleasing display.

Answer 3

It is a historical, traditional thing. When the two hands are point to the 10 and the 2, it looks like the clock face is smiling!! All watches and clocks are set to this if they don't have batteries and are on show.

Answer 4

The hands are set this way to look pleasing to the eye and has been the tradition for the advertising agencies over the years. Ten minutes to two has the same effect.

Answer 5

Becaue 10:10 makes an angle in which you can see al the details of a watch like Logo, day, date, quarter marks, waterproofing seals etc.

Answer 6

I think the symmetry is more appealing to the eye

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
