I'm curious why is 10:10 the default time always being shown on analog clocks/watches in stores/print ads?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yeah, I remember talking about this in some marketing class.

10:10 frames up the logo on the watch nicely without appearing uncomfortable in the shot.

Although a Snopes reference would seem to trump all others :), I did like this link: http://trickofmind.com/2008/04/analog-clock.html which offers a number of more creative answers, including "it looks like a smile".

But the "not to get in the way of the logo" answer is almost certainly the right one.
