Whenever we go to clock stores, we will see these watches or
clocks that are always set to 10:10, to think that setting it to other time is
not really difficult to do. But of course, we all know that there are good
justifications behind this puzzle.
Many speculations aroused about clocks in the stores set on
10:10 time, where in one hand of the clock points to number 10 and the other
one is pointing to number 2. The reasons below are just theories but makes a
lot of sense.
1. Clock and watch makers normally if not always, put their
logo under the number 12. So placing the hands of the clock to 10 and 2, helps
to frame and show the logo.
2. When we look at the clock and it shows t 10:10, it makes a
resemblance to a smiley face. It is better to see it that way, because it can
produce a positive vibes at the store and will then increase the sales of the
clocks and watches.
3. Many claim that Abraham Lincoln has a great influence on
this because he died at 10:10 pm. But, facts say that he was shot at 10:15
night and died the next morning.
4. When the hands of the clocks are place at 10:10, the other
details are clearly visible as compared to placing it on other numbers. Take
note that they don’t place the hands of the clock on one number because both
hands of the clock must be visible.
5. They say that clocks set on 10:10 time looks more
symmetrical, therefore it is better for advertisement.
There are other theories as to why these clocks and watches
are set to 10:10 time prior buying it.
