Question

Y in watch adveretisement time is shown 10:10?

Answer 1

Timex says the hands on timepieces are placed at 10:10 so the Company logo on the face will be framed and not blocked by the hands.

.

Timex says the industry standard used to be 8:20 but that looked too much like a frown and created an unhappy look.

Timex says in its ads the clock handsare placed at 10:09:36 exactly

Answer 2

Something like so  \ Casio /

Not a great diagram, but best I can pull off with limited keys.
