Why are watches adjusted to ten past ten in any advertisement?
Many years ago they were set at 12.00 o'clock but someone realised that ten minutes to ten looks like a smiling face and thus more customer friendly. Watches and clocks for sale have been so set ever since.
The symmetry of the hands of the watchface makes for a subconciously pleasing effect.
Also when many watches are displayed they are all at the same time to look neat and uniform. So it's become an industry standard.1 month ago Source(s): Once you just set the time, showing ten past ten, notice the needles displaying 'V' that stands for 'victory'! Even a hand showing two fingers 'V' indicate's the one to be lucky n the winner.
