Why Do All Wrist Watch Adverts Always Show The Same Time? by Nobody: 8:55pm On Jun 07, 2013 |
I have been an avid reader of International News magazines like Time, Newsweek etc for more than 20 years. And through this whole time I noticed that whenever I come across any advert on wrist watches, the time in the pictures are always frozen at exactly the same time, Ten Minutes Past Ten. I know for sure that there must be a reason for this but I have pondered long and hard but I could still not find any. Is there any one out there who knows? I will be grateful for an answer that will help me to solve this mystery.

It is 10.12 37sec not 10.10 ok. Because astrologers told that American President Mr. Abraham Lincon would die at the time of 10.15AM. So, entire Americans stopped their watches at 10.12AM 37sec in American clock tower. But none can escape from death. He died exactly at 10.14AM by Gun-shot and Yes there is a other reason. 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 victims, all unused clocks or the clocks which are presented in show-cases have the same time of 10:10... Source: wiki.answers.com 1 Like |

Switzerland has nothing to do with Abe Lincoln or Hiroshima. Pre-ww2 watch ads have mostly same alignment. It's always about ten past ten, because in that way watch hands form "smiley face" on dial, it is used mainly for advertisement as creating certain "positive feel". |
