Today while I'm walking Ikea, I saw a clock, a bucket of clock shows 10.10 and this came across my mind. Why clock/watch always show 10.10 in advertisements? Actually this is not only the first time I came across so today I've done a research. Hermm.. Guess what..?!

The first answer, I got it from Yahoo! answers:
"I understand that when a watches (or clocks) hands are at 10:10, it looks the cleanest and most symmetrical and shows the brand name, or logo, which is usually just below the center of the face. Some companies have started using 10:08 or 10:12 as the time in an advert because it will keep the longer minute hand from blocking the numeral"

The second answer, from educationask.com:
"In second world war american dropped their atom bomb on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. The first bomb was dropped at 10:10 AM. In remembrance of all the victimes, all unused clocks or the clocks which are presented in show-cases have the same time of 10:10... its 100% correct....

Even in any advertisement of timepiece there will always be a time showing 10:10 that is just the way they put it. does it? must be a coincidence you see 10:10on clock... IT'S LIKE A SMILEY FACE! Pleasing to the eye, and it does look like a smiley face. yes there is a reason for it

Abraham Lincoln was asassinated on 10:10

hence, in his memory, time is said to stop at 10:10, therefore all the new clocks show tht particular time Yes, it's pleasing to the eye and advertisers believe this shows the watch/clock's features the best. I guess I have never noticed that."

The third answer, from knewit.com :
" Some popular myth was that Abraham Lincoln died at that time and all watchmakers honour him this way. That’s a LOLful joke.

Watch makers show the time as 10:10 because it helps in reinforcing the brand name which is most often placed at the top center of the clock face. Also, it provides a ’smiley’ face thus providing a positive vibe to the potential buyer.

So, why 10:10 and why not 2:5o. Well that is because at 2:50, the hour hand would have moved much beyond the 2 towards 3. Also, a shorter hand on the left displays a tick sign (?) which gives some sort of assurance to the buyer."

Well, first and third answer it actually explain in a logical way and the second one, we know that the myth about Abraham Lincoln is false now but how about the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki..? XD
Anyway, I have the answer now and won't be LO LO LUEN when I bump into this 10.10 clock/watches again!
