Why do expensive watch ads always display their watch showing 10 minutes after 10:00?

I read somewhere that this arrow position (10:10), angle and symmetry helps watches look their best and most appealing to customers.

Only if you charge someone to watch!

Is it the face (the part with the numbers)or is it the bezel (the metal band around the face)?  It it is the bezel, then it is used by divers to mark the time when they first went underwater.  Most tanks have a capacity of close to an hour, so if you line up the mark on the bezel with the minute hand on your watch when you dive in, then you need to be back to the top before the minut hand gets back to the mark.  That bezel can also be used to help you navigate if you get lost in the wilderness. (Too long an explanation for me to give here.)

Because the watchmaker's name tends to be at 12:00, by having it at 10:10 it allows us to see the "label" and have the hands nicely symmetrical.  Also it's simply tradition.

Refer to the answer given by Google Researcher " pinkfreud-ga" for the question "Why do all clock/watch ads show the hands at 10 and 2".   It is a comprehensive answer.\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar

Is this a question?  \n\nIf you are saying this is a problem, then you may want to take your computer to a tech.  Many times there is a battery on the motherboard that keeps the system time.    If it's going bad, i've seen it slow down time keeping and other things.   \n\nThe other thing I'd check is to check the services on the computer and see if the "Windows Time" service is disabled.  If it is not, your computer may be trying to sync it's time with another computer on the network.

I think the bigger question is, "Is it really 10:10, or is it 1:50?"\n\nMakes the clock look nice. \n\nCheers!!

It might have dawned on you that 8:20 makes for a pleasingly symmetrical arrangement of the hands. So does 10:10, an arrangement that shows up almost as often. Relative to the vertical axis they both make a sort of equiangular tripod, if you follow me, that strikes most people as more attractive than, say, 9:15. The practice dates back at least to the 1920s, judging from the ads in (appropriately) Time magazine; the illustrations in a Sears Roebuck catalog from 15 years earlier show no such arrangement.\n\nA casual survey of ads and catalogs suggests the time settings on digital watches are random except when they're mixed in with watches with hands, in which case they're all set for 10:10.

No. The more icons beside your computer's clock are the ones that slow it down, because it means that all that software is loaded any time.

it is not 10 seconds it's 5 seconds. I have had also experienced the audio delay during one Lakers game this season. FSN and KCAL updates the score 1 second.

thinkgeek is a good place to be looking. of all the things they sell i personally like the square led watch that tells the time in binary:\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/7243/\n\nsome of the t-shirts are pretty funny as long as you understand *why* they're funny - again, it's a geek thing:\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/5d6a/\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/8a5b/\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/388b/\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/31fb/\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/sysadmin/344f/

Right click the picture, Click Frame properties, Then Choose display time, It's set to 10, -makes it go faster, + makes it go slower.

The clock hands are so placed so that the viewers have the best view of the watch. At the 10:10 position you can see almost all the features of the watch (on the dial).

Beacuse it comes after 10.

If you remove the space it is "Albuse" and they are a watch brand. The word "Albuse" seams to be a German name, so it could be German watchmaker.

Have you tried a Seiko Kinetic watch, which is powered by body movement, or one of the various solar power models coming on to the market?\n\nI suspect you may be subjecting your watch to a magnetic field or similar. This could be from an unexpected source (like the pads used to disable security tags in shops). My current Casio promises a 10 year battery life.
