To show off the name of the maker. It's a tradition now, started with clocks in the 18th century.

1. Best display set up to showcase all arms, numerals, letterings and other potential text on the face/dial pad.
2. Distinctly shows the short arm and the long arm for hour and minutes as well as the seconds arm (if any) which would be at the 30
3. Gives maximum space for logo & other text to be displayed
4. Sometimes, the top half of the round face of a watch typically also contains either a date or some kind of an alarm display, and this also can be presented as a sales/marketing feature prominently in an advertisement or display showcase.
5. This 10:10 is usually only on non-digital display units i.e. ones without the arms...the digital display of 10:10 is just a carry on or a fall off of the traditional or age old advertising/marketing practice for watches with arms....just vintage stuff and for lack of creativity...or in another perspective...could be percieved as very creative digitally...you would actually see 10:10: 10 i.e. 10 hrs, 10 minutes and 10 seconds and so on to display the accuracy to which the watch can function
thx

there are 2 or 3 different answers here but... the best one is that when the watch is a 10:10 it leaves the makers name or mark visible at the top of the watch, Usually in the 12:00 position and the watches designation at the bottom. model etc. On a Rolex the 12:00 symbol is the Rolex crown with the name Rolex directly underneath with, in my case says Oyster Perpetual. which means it is water resistant and at the bottom it will say Day/date or give more info on the model etc. So the watch looks clean, symmetrical and advertises the makers name.

Hey mate, the answers you've got so far are incorrect. The reason is that, Abe Lincoln was hanged at 10:10. So, whats great about that? He fought against slavery during Civil War, and as a respect, the time is noted in ads of watches or clocks.

The name of the watch usually appears at the top of the face. The hands in this position draw your attention to the name. It was explained years ago on a TV show by a person from Timex.

I must agree with Alice K...I asked a friend who's a clock collector about this once, and he gave me the same explanation: so that the hands do not obscure the maker's name on the clock (or watch) face.

when the hands of watch point to 10:10, it looks like a V which stands for victory or some other lucky words.

Simply because the watch face looks balanced that way. Did you know on the old clocks with roman numerals on them there is no such number as IIII (4) it should read IV, but they did it that way just to make it look good.....
