Tv clocks & watches showing 10:10 why????

My father and I've noticed for years that every advertisement for a clock or watch
ALWAYS has the hour hand on 10 and the minute hand on 2. This holds
true for print ads, online ads, TV ad's, etc.

Nobody's ever been able to explain why this is a universally used
constant/standard. I've guessed that it is because this shows the
clock hands well; the problem with that reasoning is it doesn't pass
the "beauty in the eye of the beholder" concept. Everyone would have
a different perception of what shows off the hands the most.I thought about getting 10 out of 10 in grammar quizzes!

I'm going crazy because it is a deliberate, non-accidental approach,
but nobody seems to know why.
Thanks!!But , I thank dear Uncle Google!
"Did you ever notice that the hands on clocks displayed for sale are
usually set at 10:10? There are many theories why it is done this way.
The most popular one is because the hands look like the clock has a
'smile' on its face instead of a frown and it frames the
Manufacturer's trademark if it is printed just above the center pipe.
Some manufacturers have displayed their clock hands at 3:00 and 9:00.
Yet, the hands of a displayed clock usually are not set to cover each
another or are they placed in straight lines such as 12:30 or 9:15.
This all might make some sense when you think about the emotional
marketing perspective. Manufacturers want you to see their product
'smiling' at you!"

The clock has a

'smile' on its face

This is what I believe

Thanks a lot

The other assumption says
that the clock face shows the sign of victory a letter ( V ) for victory
anyway still all these are assumptions

Thanks
