What is so special about 10 hours and 10 minutes, why does every stopped clock show the same time?

In India, there is no dearth of lovers of watches not only of Titan or Casio but also of companies like Rolex, Cartier and Omega. And that is why big watch companies advertise on certain festivals through newspapers, TV channels, hoardings and other media. But, have you ever noticed why the time of advertisements printed in newspapers or clocks hanging in showrooms is fixed at 10:10 or 2:10? Why is it that watch manufacturers around the world set the same time? Let us know about it in detail.

The first and most important reason is considered to be its beauty.

There are several reasons why stopwatches manufactured by watch manufacturing companies set 10:10 as the default time. Let us tell you that this is not a new tradition. But watchmaking companies have already been doing this. The first and most important reason for this is considered to be its beauty. Actually, companies believe that when the clock shows the time at 10:10, it looks very beautiful and attractive. At this point none of the forks overlap each other.

It has to do with promotion and winning

Another reason for setting this time in the stopwatch is related to company promotion. In fact, the hands of the clock are set at 10:10 in such a way that the company's logo and name are clearly visible. Most watch companies place their logo and name in the center of the watch. So by setting the time to 10.10 both the company logo and name are not covered behind the spikes and are read correctly.

Victory sign visible at 10:10

The third reason is that the time 10:10 in a watch advertisement or in a showroom indicates victory. You must have seen that when a person is successful in any work, he shows the V sign by raising the first two fingers of his hand. So the time of 10.10 is also indicating victory.
